Moving back to the UK....
 

Hi,

We are a family of 4 (kids are 15 and 9). We moved out of Greater London area to KL, Malaysia in early 2006 and as things stand now there is a very high probability that we would be moving back to the UK during this calendar year (2011).

Though we have kept tabs on the upward movement of VAT, Fuel etc. but we do not have complete view of the net change as compared to March 2006 - in monetary terms.

In other words assuming, we had an income of GBP 1200 per annum in 2006 - how much should I ask for from my new employer in order to maintain the same std. of living as we had back in 2006 ?:unsure:

Any views/perspectives on the above would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
GR

I moved here in July 2006 so I cannot help with wages and prices but you will find that a lot of members will come on and help you.
