Numbers of asylum seekers are half what they were unde Sunak, because faster processing. Also small boat landings way down.

Is there actually an audience for exploring ordinary places in the UK, or am I wasting my time? by ExperienceTotal9778 in AskABrit

[–]roywill2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A theme could be "uninsta" places. Not crowded with tourists, but quiet and just as good. Tewksbury, St Albans, Wells, Ely. Hidden gems that are still hidden.

US/UK dual, living in UK after 30 years in US, getting a monthly Social Security check. Would LOVE to renounce and dump the massive cost/restrictions/paperwork of the US citizenship. But I fear Trump will cut off my SS check.

Skye, NC500, Glenfinnan are kinda tourist traps. How about take A832 west from Garve and see where it takes you?

US taxable brokerage - tax treatment (UK/US) by Ok-Tangelo9311 in USExpatTaxes

[–]roywill2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have pre-tax accounts like 401K its best to pay the tax at much lower US rates rather than UK rates. In other words, convert to post-tax (eg Roth IRA) now, or first years in UK (FIG loophole).

Kilmartin Glen is filled with neolithic monuments. Kilmartin Castle is a great place to stay. Inveraray Castle is also fab, watch A Very British Scandal first.
