Reading between the lines I sorta thought that might be the case. Hope it all works out for you. Good luck.

What I mean is you haven't got the responsibilies of kids, mortgage etc. unless there is something you've not been telling us.

Been here exactly 21 years today! Only place I consider "home" these days, although I can't imagine living the rest of my life here, to be honest.

Y don't ya do a Ronnie Biggs, convert part of your abode into what would pass for a British pub.

Anyone know if the old rascal Ronnie Biggs is still alive? Last I heard he returned to the UK to get medical treatment c/o Her Majesty's Prison service.

The worrying thing is what if we were to return to the UK what would that feel like? The phrase 'Ping Pong Pom' springs to mind.
