ARE YOU A BRIT LIVING ABROAD BUT THINKING ABOUT COMING HOME TO THE UK?

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS?

ITV1 are making the second series of ‘No Place Like Home?’ about British Ex-Pats who are considering moving back to the UK.

We’re keen to hear from Brits who are living abroad, but who are now thinking about returning permanently to Britain.

Perhaps you miss your family and friends, maybe schooling is a problem for your kids, or you simply yearn for a bit of British culture.

You’ll be flown back to the UK and given the opportunity to ‘test-drive’ the reality of living in the UK. We’ll give you the information you need to make an informed decision about whether to remain an expat or come home for good.

If this sounds like you, or anyone you know, please contact Olly.

What a great opportunity for some of our members who are really considering this option - but wondering if it's the best course of action. Great idea to be able to test the waters - so many people make the move back, then realise they'd rather be in Oz (some are so relieved to just get back home).

Wow, I wish! Now if only I could persuade DH to desert his tomato plants I would be there like a shot!

Drugged and hog tied would probably be the only way

Perhaps you could come up with a cunning plan .... now that's an idea for a light hearted thread - how to get Mr. Quoll to the UK lol

I am being sneaky - went to the British High Commission today to collect my passport and have sussed out right of abode requirements. I have mentioned it to him and he didnt panic totally. Slow steps!

I've found with my hubby (although I accept what I try to achieve isn't anything as big as moving back to blighty), that I drop the idea every now and again in various forms (same end result), If I bang on about something he digs his heels in ... but the softly softly approach usually ends up with him saying "I've been thinking"... and I thing yeah result. Of course, he's probably cottoned onto me over the last 20 years and I'm probably not getting away with quite as much as I think I am lol

What about the drugs in the milk - got Mr T (the A Team) on that plane every single time lol
