50 years in the country I've seen it several many times over. Personal friends, colleagues at work. I've yet to hear of anyone that has regretted it. I know of someone recently that came back to the US from the UK, last I heard he's returned to the UK again.

As someone here said of me "he's seen it all". Well yes pretty much.
I'm curious as to what made you decide to join a British expats site after all this time, since you're clearly very settled here?

I'm looking for a potential escape route, in case Trump becomes President.

I get it.
Don't be a silly billy.

Think of it as walking into a bar full of strangers. The regulars are having a discussion...you decide to join in. If you start to voice your opinions strongly and the others disagree...then what happens? BE is just the same. I always say...take your time...read through some of the old threads and get to know the regulars before jumping in with both feet.

Give yourself time...we are a good crowd really.
