I'm currently classed as an 'Ex Pat'. I am in receipt of my national pension for which I paid in more than enough stamps during my employed years in UK, and I receive a private pension which I have paid into a UK Bank, and pay tax on the portion of it over my personal allowance.
If i lived in UK I'd probably be entitles to all kinds of things because I couldn't live on both those together in UK.
so would he like me to come home and be a further burden on top of my drawing a pension. It is a mistaken belief that all ex pats are loaded.
