"To-do" list for moving to the UK?

After 20 years in Australia (from Canada) for me and 40 years (from the NE of England) for OH, we've decided to retire in Scotland. We're pretty okay with the visa process, although I do wish it was...

Re: I’m in the Midlands - get me outta here!

Once you're sponsored by the State, you'll have to qualify and apply for a visa. Bear in mind that if it's just you and your child you'll need either a court order or a signed statutory declaration...

Re: Canadian slang

What's wrong with eavestrough? The word is pretty explanatory for what it is. It's a trough on the eaves.

Re: Car hire for 78 year old

Have you looked at the car rental websites to see what's available for your preferred dates? I'm not sure what your age would have to do with renting a vehicle, though unless you're under 21.

Re: Shrimps On The Barbie

I would think "berk" came from Cockney rhyming slang. Berkley Hunt, (use your imagination) got shortened to Berkley then just berk.
