Re: It's been a week.....

I agree completely - but it's the fact that Civic's you can modify...cruise around council estates with loud exhausts and LED lighting...driven by Chavs etc etc - I never understand it myself....

Re: It's been a week.....

I can tell you that Civic is where you are going wrong - boy racer car. Even in the UK...look for something "boring" and you should get lower quotes (I say should!). There was something in the Daily...

Re: Simple non-wealthy retirement

You have to go through a broker I believe.




That may be the case, my Grandparents are in their 80's now (one with heart bypass surgery) and I am sure it isn't astronomical otherwise they...

Re: Simple non-wealthy retirement

In answer to HOW to do it, you can call or pop in to the local GP surgery it seems. Visit www.nhs.uk to find the GP's near you!

Re: Simple non-wealthy retirement

I definitely think that is the way to go. I am not sure how expensive it is, but 90 day trip coverage can be as little as £50-75. So I can't imagein 4 months being more than £100. I would as you...

Re: Simple non-wealthy retirement

Have to ask, wouldn't decent annual travel insurance be better from the UK - it's much more affordable. Before you say "travel insurance covers trips up to 90 days" you can get a 4 month policy, my...

I can't speak for others, but I will say that weather and the feeling of hot and cold is subjective and depends on the individual. However as others here have said, it can be too hot. Here in...

Even if we keep our British accents after years abroad (like me!), these words and phrases infiltrate our vocabulary. It will take time to eradicate them! Perhaps I should say EXTERMINATE! Although...
