Here we go again. I come on this forum just to update my thread, and I am the one creating arguments. If you think by my answering questions that are posted to me, and we all have our own opinion, then please, be my guest and think what you will.

I am not asking anyone to agree with me.

Tell me, WHY is this forum called "BRITISHEXPATS.COM serving the expatriate community" this is a very misleading title for a very misleading forum as most but in no way all of the people who contribute on this site DO NOT WANT TO HELP OR INDEED GIVE GOOD USEFUL ADVICE. It seems to be posting after posting of attacks from people in the UK, which I will not rise to who seem very sad and lost souls. I am happy to say, I am not one of them and after reading most of the comments on my thread my sympathy goes out to them who do not understand or do not want to understand.

There is little more I can say on the subject as it does seem to be a bone of contention with many.

I think I'm begining to follow this "Net profit" logic, but, if I'm right, to call it a profit is wrong. You seem to be saying that you being abroad costs less than you being in the UK. That is not a profit, that is a reduced liability, but then they negate that, by paying you, to pay them, NI contributions.

Little wonder then the new government wants to overhaul the system.

and going by your previous posting you weren't posting here again.

I am in no way causing an argument, I am merely stating a fact.

The resident "card" had to be finger-printed by the police station, thus taking up the resources of the police which could be better spent elsewhere, although the crime is nowhere as bad as it is in the UK. It then has to go to a different department to be laminated. So YES it is cheaper for the "paper" option.

Sorry, I didn´t know you had bought the rights to this open forum. I must of missed it in the Financial Times Index, shares must have gone through the roof. I will post on here as and when I feel like it.

Plus it was the OLD Government that caused all these financial problems to begin with. And now the UK citizens have it in for the expats. Don´t hate me hate them.

Again I want to know why this is called the BritishExpats serving the expatriate community forum. How is it serving the expat community

dunmovin

your words not mine andas for the comment about me bragging. I wasn't I was replying to your WRONG assumption I was a pensioner and in receipt of money fromthe government.

IMO Britishexpats.com serves the ex-pat community well.....provides information and quick access to answers from other ex-pats

From time to time some people abuse it by using it as a personal blog, this is not what it is meant for.

So sue me

Am I not allowed to change my mind. I do not believe that I signed a contract to this effect so I believe, in the words of Judge Judy, it is null and void.

If you do not want to talk to me then don´t. I wont lose any sleep over it.

So as I first started a Thread and asked a question with regards to DLA in Spain, and everyone jumps on the band-wagon, is this classed as a personal blog. Nobody has to post.

And also, why are there so many people who live in the UK and are not even ex-pats abusing and causing arguments. Is there not an ex-pat forum in the UK where they can abuse themselves. A site where some poor girl can ask for help with housing because her ex abuses her. And the answer would sure to be - she`s just saying that because she wants a free house.

dunmovin

why would I do that? you do a fine job of alienating the people on this forum and if you keep it up someone(not me.... I couldn't be arsed) will report you

Mitzyboy

Yep, strangely I'm aware of what was and what is. Ive met very few people who wanted the paper document, we all wanted the card. But your man who knows everything didnt seem to know that :-)

Oh
Dear
And you express suprise at the fact that some people dont agree with you, which they are entitled to do, or that they react to your comments?

crustycrab

I´m not at all surprised, as it was expected. I don´t expect anyone to agree with me. It seems to follow a pattern.

Mitzyboy

OK, lets close the thread then as its going absolutely nowhere and only causing grief and anger
