Surely this forum is meant to help other people who are wanting up to date info on relocating. We were all there once!

Jason, you are always welcome to ask anything you like, there are some really clued up people on here, some of us like to have a laugh, and to be honest I have never met a situation that couldn't be answered by the informative and helpful people on here.

Thats said be prepared because, right or wrong, some of us do tend to treat it a little like a local bar, and you are always welcome to pull up a stool and join in with the banter, just don't let it upset you, serious stuff gets answered.


P.S. Be careful of Derbyflan, he is feeling a little frisky at the moment OK?

I just told him to stay on here and i would delete the others.
It is a little difficult keeping up to speed in so many different places. ;-))
