I really, really sorry that things are not working out for you where you are located. Keep your chin up!

Re: Going back to UK Jan 2008
I'm a time served tradesman and to be told in Texas I'm only worth $ 9 an hour is galling saying i've had a Grammar School education. The minimum wage in England is more than twice the minimum wage here. American pay stinks, and the vacation times stinks.:curse:
If you look at it from the other side, my USC OH would probably be in the same boat if we moved to the UK. Here, OH works in insurance at mid-management level. It would be hard for him to find the equivalent position and pay in the UK because he doesn't have UK experience or qualifications.
As for vacations, well, I can't argue with you there. They are not over generous

Don't worry, lol...I will be having pie chips peas and curry and a pint of Stella watching football on TV come January, instead of having a taco filled with God-knows-what, having weak beer and watching American football player prima-donnas dance around a playing field
The future is England, and all those who sail on her!
