Bugging Out Of The UK

[CharlesHarris]

MaryN is absolutely correct. Unless you are fluent in the language and understand the culture, having trustworthy family, friends or an employment connection, relocating to another country is difficult. Brit expats fit in well in most of the US, Canada or Australia where there is much shared language, values and culture, but you would need to plan ahead with a plane ticket and something more than a student or tourist VISA. A rowboat across the Channel doesn't seem viable to me. Forty years ago I might have considered a move elsewhere, if the job encouraged nd supported it, but no way I would consider it today as a retiree without family and support system in the new country.
