My plot is on sand dunes with a couple of foot of soil on top. I piled my garage. Yes it cost more; but it’s less likely to fall down. I suppose it’s whether your willing to risk all the expense of the above ground materials and labour for the build on a potentially unsuitable foundation.

You quoted me when I was talking about FOM and that it was a shame that we have lost the ease of movement we once enjoyed. You said there were plenty of ways to live, work abroad. Then you tried to make a point about visa. Clearly visa have more friction than FOM. I’ve called you out on it...

Clearly not everyone can, and it’s certainly not as easy as before. You’re not a stupid person, so please stop being ignorant.

I've not been disingenuous in any way - I provided a clear example and the source of my research as the benefit of FOM for the ease of living, working and retiring in the EU. Whereas you can only cite specific examples, all of which have barriers to entry and thus not universal to British...

Yes, there’s merit in your view, but that’s was freedom of movement allowed and it’s disingenuous of MBK to suggest that the current provisions are just as easy (or sometimes better) than FOM, when the fact is that some people wouldn’t now qualify. I might be totally wrong on this, but didn’t...

Don’t want to be the forum police here, and while I agree with the premise that Brexit has been terribly damaging to the UK in many ways, there’s no need to throw in the digs Noseall - you’re better than than mate.

That is definitely not easier than having an EU passport. Thought you were better than that too MBK, but seems his place is just turning into a trolling zone. Here, from ChatGPT, is a summary of what you now need to do to retire in the EU. CLEARLY not as easy as having freedom of movement...

Doubt it.

None of which are as easy as holding an EU passport.

Bit surprise to see you trolling to be honest Mottie. Fair enough have your view on Brexit, but (still) wishing to be part of the EU doesn’t mean you hate the UK, or that you have to leave the UK for the EU. In my view, It’s a real shame that people have lots the ease of working, studying or...

Mathewsons sell a lot of dross. More known for their project cars than their concourse ones.

Just drive a classic Mottie :)

Your life can go in a positive direction irrespective of Friday matey :)

Sorry to hear this. Keep at it Koolpc

Great news. You’ll be able to kit the place out fully from charity shops if you’re unwilling to buy yourself new things.

semantics - if a lodger is made homeless, then they go up the priority list for housing support. some would argue that lodgers are more vulnerable due to the ease of eviction. either way, it’s a moot point, because the council isn’t obliged to help in this situation.

You gotta help yourself then mate…the council won’t do it if you have the means to help yourself but choose not to. Sorry, sounds harsh, but it’s the reality of the situation.

I’m not sure how much it matters what the wording of the situation is…but ultimately the council/CAB will advise you what to do in order to get yourself in line for emergency support.

Depends how much you’ve got I guess? Withdraw it in cash to buy a car, or a holiday or gamble it away, lose it in a romance scam…obviously don’t actually do those things but money is easily ‘lost’.

Very honourable mate - don’t blame you. However, I’m sure your daughter would be happier if you used a bit of that money to sort yourself out and get a proper place of your own. A happy / content / settled father will have a massive positive influence on her wellbeing in the future (not...
