The new Florida board already seems to be becoming a magnet for realtors. Notice you now have our old friend emigratetotheusa advertising his services, e.g. here.

He was recently making a fool of himself on this particular board, e.g. here.

Have you formulated a policy for people advertising their services on the board? If not, I fear it may become a business promotion board rather than your stated intention.

But what make you think the owners are not someway connected to the property market be it Realtor or otherwise.... I'd lay money on it..

No idea. The OP stated his intentions otherwise when questioned. I think he is either a little naive, in which case we can maybe help him out a little, or it really is just a marketing ploy. The jury's out at the moment.

Nope, It is for Britis in FLorida, Not for selling stuff, I will have to sort out a policy. For now I will stick all posts like that in the British Business section.

It's certainly a delicate and tricky balance running a forum. Will pop by from time to time to see how you're doin'...

Oh sorry. Not what you want to hear that you are new here. I have in fact been here a long time. It's just not for me. The sun is nice and houses are pretty big and lots of beaches.... but I am just not happy here. The British culture is like no other. Good luck to you with your club.

Yeah, I do get home sick but I am trying to make it a bit easier with this website. + I got myself an English girlfriend out here so that all helps.

So how long did you give it before you said you would go back?

I hear you! As much as I like my American friends, and appreciate my American husband for making every effort to appreciate Fawlty Towers, it's just not the same. I have a dry British sense of humour, and I really don't want it to disappear I visited your new site, but the icon to register just wouldn't work. Any ideas. It's probably me...having a brain fart!!

We have been here quite a long time. Its strange that despite our attempts at getting close to some of the locals, our circle of Friends (with one Aussie exception) are all British

It's gone, ahhhhh....


Well after so many people trying to sign up and reporting problems to me with the forum we took it offline, re-installed it and got it all running again.

We have lost all the posts that we have before but well, this time I won't let that that be an issue.


So it's all back up and working, a little empty but it's back.

I have been living in Florida for over 5 years now and I still can't settle here. I've been homesick since I arrived but was determined to give it my best shot for the sake of my husband and kids. After 5 years I'm more than ready to go back. I miss the people, place and everything else that was familiar to me. I find Florida very superficial and bland. Having said that, it's going to be very difficult going back and starting again especially with the current exchange rate. Is there anyone else out there that has gone back to UK and started again with very little behind them?

If you're not happy in FL, have you thought about moving elsewhere in the country? The US is so big that other states may be more appealing.

You'd probably be better asking that question here.

Sorry to here that.... Of course it nots easy to re-start ..and then of course you will work longer and harder here... But there are many advantageous as well...Do you live in a city or rural..life can be so different in each...
But after living here for 5 years, I think you will find enormous changes back in the UK ...perhaps a time back there may help you ..
On my last visit I went for 3 weeks ..and I would have been very happy to be back on that plane in a week..
