Re: Taking a leap! Moving to UK with kids and bare savings

Ramsgate to London is on the edge of possible - I would guess 120-150 minutes 'door to door' trip, and the train won't be cheap. Note that York is a richer city than Ramsgate, with probably a better...

Re: Inheritance Tax and the law

Why do you say that? As you only pay it after you die, and presumably your sons will be well into middle age by then, and the tax only kicks in above a certain (high) level... Hardly horrible
