Re: Want to keep my UK driving licence

Re: Want to keep my UK driving licence

Re: Want to keep my UK driving licence

Re: Want to keep my UK driving licence

Yes I am a UKC. Did you mean USC? If so then no I'm not (I'm a UKC) and have no intention of ever being a USC. I'm in the US with my USC wife. Sorry, looking back I did use the word "residency"...

Re: Want to keep my UK driving licence

I certainly will. I should have stood my ground this morning but I was so annoyed I thought it best that I just leave before I swore too much more at them. As Norrah says, I'll see if I can speak to...

Re: Best bank to deal with Ex Pats

If you use the ATM's to cash a cheque you get a receipt with a photo of the cheque on it. Hopefully it's not just a SE England thing.

Re: Best bank to deal with Ex Pats

Natwest, Lloyds, Barclays and HSBC all did (and have done for some time) this when I left the UK.
UK also has wide spread Chip & PIN.

Re: Who isn't going to vote?
