Re: Anyone returned to UK?

Just a quick update. Have sent back all vetting forms a few weeks ago and now waiting for an update.

The forms were very straight-forward. Presume they follow things up with an interview?

I have read some of your older posts and like us, you seem to have been in a state of indecision since 09. :D

Well done for making a decision, best wishes for the future, and if you don't mind me...

Anyone returned to UK?

Anyone returned to their (or another) UK police service after emigrating?

Was wondering about the vetting process (MetPol) after being away 4 years? What does it involve?

Re: So a return to the UK looks pretty likely

I don't doubt you Lothianlad - it was definitely pouring when we spoke to the in-laws that day - but they did confirm they'd had about three weeks of gorgeous weather too.

Re: What will you miss and not when you get back to the UK.

I won't miss a frozen garden from November to April! You could break a shovel here (if you weren't using it to clear the snow) :lol:

I will miss the big bright skies.

Haven't been on for a few weeks as lots of stuff going on at home. I think we're almost at that final decision stage and will most likely look to move back to the UK in the late summer.

Can anyone confirm what the current situation is with UK banks and any guarantees it gives on the safety of your savings?

I hadn't heard of this. On the one hand, as long as someone is paying, let them. But I understand the UK donor list is founded on a needs basis, and not even on a first-come-first served - so you...

Re: Transfering your money to the uk

The rate is really good at the moment, ie, bad. It hasn't been this low for years.
