Yes, sounds very familiar.
90% of the ex-pats we've met or have had work for us seem to have been Managing Directors or Owners of thriving companies in the UK with very posh lifestyles. Whilst they are here though all they do is try to find bargains at the Jalon market.....! Makes you wonder..... |

They all seemed to serve in the same sort of places, always in well documented places. If anyone ever asked him what he did he would reply, "I'm a gardener" |

the really funny thing was that my dad was actually in the SAS, and he hated talking about it, so when he was out there for a bit he would sit and listen to the shite these guys would talk about.
