Re: Moving from Dxb back to the UK

Great to see interesting opinions. My wife is from Manchester but I cannot stand the city - Could it ever be an option worth considering? Although I would hate to be around City and United fans ;)

It sends shivers down my spine to even think about it and I have absolutely no clue how am I going to do it. I think I should just go and do it for two weeks as a trial.
