Default Wannabe a Brit again

Hello Everyone, I'm a Newbie. Need some help!

Are there any Brits that lived in Canada for a while & then returned to the U.K. out there?

We will be pensioners next year & want to come home. Only thing is, how do we pay only one taxman? Any help would be so appreciated.

Welcome to the expat forum! Will you be getting a UK pension, or a Canadian pension, or both?

Why do you want to come back ? Are you being mistreated there ? Or can you not say as you fear repocussions maybe ?

Village life has long gone you been watching to much Emmerdale on Sattelite .

The History every Country has history !!
Cathedrals and Houses of Parliment What you gonna do buy a tent and sit and look at them all day ?

I'm afraid it really is impossible to discuss this seriously any further with someone who thinks the British countryside is boring and nothing special!!!

And having moved from a village I can tell you village life is alive and well in rural england if you just have the eyes to see it.

As I said before, take the time to read the list I already posted, if you can be bothered!
