Re: Can't sell car - leave in 2 weeks

Re: Has Anyone Moved Back To The UK & Regretted It?

Re: Has Anyone Moved Back To The UK & Regretted It?

Is that going on your personal experience?, I'm interested to know. Tonnes of jobs in these parts. My business also seems to be expanding rapidly. Maybe it's down to what area you live in?
