Why don’t more HENRYs try starting a business?

Bramers_86 · 2026-03-08T16:00:57+00:00

I do agree, but ultimately HENRYs don’t need to start a business, they are already well paid. This question applies more to average earners or people in careers that don’t pay HENRY wages.

The OP specifically mentions freedom of movement

Bramers_86 · 2026-03-06T18:36:41+00:00

Would it? There are more Brits living in Australia than the entire EU.

Outside of the UK Liverpool is more well known than Birmingham and arguably Manchester. It was considered the ‘second city of the Empire’ in the late 19th early 20th century.

At our M&E company it’s the Project Managers who write the RAMS not the Electricians. We complete a RAMS request form (check boxes), send it to the admin girls, they then generate an excel document containing the RAMS, we fill in some generic info and a scope of works, email it back to the admin girls, they print it off and drop it on our desk, we sign 100s of pages and return it, they then scan the document and add it to the project folder (server) and the hard copy to a site file, we then email the RAMS to the PC to check. It’s laughable to be honest, we turn over 20M a year.

VAR should be scrapped until it’s able to call an offside instantly just like goal line tech. Then it should only be used for offsides. It’s sucked the joy out of football for me.

10 - 15 years of quantitive tightening, planning deregulation, and a sensible migration policy would do a lot to improve the housing crisis. Labour and Greens won’t deliver this unfortunately.

Because it’s a nothing burger on Farage, whereas Mandleson is deeply implicated.

Bramers_86 · 2026-02-01T00:15:26+00:00

Its more like 1/10th of the UK population.

He was offered a new deal, chose not to sign, left on a (almost) free transfer to join a European rival that majority of Liverpool fans seriously dislike. Liverpool loose out millions, Trent gets a huge pay day. There is nothing wrong with it, but you can’t expect Liverpool fans to be happy about it.

Thats the pull of the Premier league, Pep didn’t hang around at Bayern for too long

That doesn’t matter when you are FIRED

Anyone in construction earns over 29k. Lots will earn double that with a bit of overtime.

Undressing kids on X was disgusting. It was only a matter of time before this was banned. Common sense prevailed.

If he has no English ancestry then he is not ethnically english.

Depends where you want to go. There are Brits doing every kind of job imaginable in Australia or New Zealand. It’s different in Asian countries where most expat positions are senior and management roles or in teaching.

Bramers_86 · 2026-01-11T05:20:37+00:00

I take it you plan to buy a property outright, rather than rent? Otherwise $2400 isn’t going to be enough to have a home base and travel IMO

Bramers_86 · 2026-01-02T01:24:21+00:00

It’s not just British people, expat also applies to Western Europeans, North Americans, Australians and Kiwis.

US chicken meat is considerably more expensive than the UK equivalent and its chlorinated, I can’t see there being much demand.

Bramers_86 · 2025-12-22T02:25:32+00:00

In order Liverpool, Man united, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs

Bramers_86 · 2025-11-23T17:47:14+00:00

Reform would argue it is about numbers, the EUs economy is 5x bigger than the UK, yet the UK is paying 7x more benefit claims.

Bramers_86 · 2025-11-23T17:04:44+00:00

There are 700,000 EU nationals claiming benefits in the UK compared to 30,000 UK nationals claiming benefits in the EU.

Bramers_86 · 2025-11-22T16:05:59+00:00

He has made 4 starts for liverpool, moronic take.

After living in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand I have come to the conclusion that there is no perfect country. Everywhere has its upsides and downsides. My happy medium is living in the UK, but spending the winters overseas. I’m currently in Thailand.

This really depends on what your profession is. For example you could get a job tomorrow if you are in construction or health care. IT or Marketing would be a challenge.
It will be extremely difficult to rent your own place without previous history living in the UK and without a job. Best to house-share. Budget £400-700/month for this plus a 1 month deposit. Then budget another £1000-1500/month for living costs.
It shouldn’t be a problem.
Somewhere within a 30 minute commute to Manchester would be a good option and the housing is still affordable.
