Re: The pensions exodus....

Gav, a lot of people sang the song and I do remember some MBS roadshows <spit> which were informing people of the well-known fact. But there are probably more EU folk here than ever, now.

Have you bought an island yet?

Are you having a laugh? I couldn't even buy a f******g garden shed in Belfast right now at current property prices


Seriously, the pension wasn't that much though it was worth getting out. The thing is that house prices in Ireland have increased about 250% since I left. Although my current stash would have been easily enough to buy a reasonable (3 bed semi) property outright, pre-2000, it's not even sufficient for a 2 bed terrace now


Roll on the house price crash, I say! Also, a devaluing of sterling would be appreciated too. Until then, ironically, the dosh will stay ensconced with the Zuerich gnomes.
