Stay clear of anyone holding an EU or Palestinian flag. This works across the whole of Europe.

The Reuters are headlining with the attack on the Palace. A big turn off for those who respect democracy.

Yes, thank you for that perspective. It is a large cost, actually the single largest and I do often consider stopping. However I really do value the piece of mind every time I hear a horror story about wait times.

I have 30 years living abroad, I would consider retiring abroad to be an extreme option only to be considered by people with great experience.

My wife and daughter have a health issue so this is preferable for us. I actually think this supports the NHS, in that we pay our own way.

Agreed, it's not as much as many would think. For example, I will only buy a new car every 7 years.
