Hiyas McAlpine; I am kind of sort of near you over in OH...My husband and I are toying with moving to the UK ourselves and because of it; after being generously welcomed on this forum; most all of thepeople like Bev have been EXTREMELY helpful pointing out things you need to know, and I've mentioned a few things I found out on my own. If you use the search bar up at the top for all posts I've made so far; I am sure you will find a LOT of that information helpful...The various topics being mentioned were everything from taxes you need to know about, including the National Insurance Card; (medical); to the difficulties of getting a bank account; to what you will find at the grocery stores and clothing stores and such...One simple thing I might point out here is that Walmart DOES have a subsidiary over there called Asda, and though unlike Walmart here; they don't sell clothing; their stores are STILL FILLED to the brim with helpful things you will need for daily living...
