UK Referendum on continued British membership of the EU
A referendum on continued British membership of the EU could be held as soon as next year. A vote to leave the EU would have major consequences for Ex-Pats who are resident in France. An exit timescale is not known but I suspect would be within 3 years of a NO vote. The consequences are varied depen...

Ex-Pat U.K. General Election
Not too sure which topic this goes under but we received our postal voting papers on Thursday (23rd) and posted them back on Friday.
If you've enabled Postal Voting for the U.K. General Election on May 7th, this note serves as a benchmark for the arrival of your paperwork.

I thought you were going to pay off the outstanding finance and re-register the car in France? A French company will insure a U.K. registered car but then you fall into the trap that you have to register the vehicle anyway.

Thank you to everybody for your replies, they are extremely helpful.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the French authorities, in addition to a Certificate of Conformity from the vehicle manufacturers, will require evidence that you hold title to the vehicle. This, at present, cannot be complied with as the vendor will have sold the vehicle to the finance ...

Some remaining channels on Astra 1N are disappearing
When FilmOn is playing up, we revert to our old faithful PMB box which still picks up Astra 1N. I notice last night that some channels are no longer there. Does anyone know if 1N is being taken out of service? Also, is there an alternative to FilmOn? When FilmOn is buffering/freezing we get perfect ...

I perhaps should have pointed out in my original post that it would be prudent in times of plenty to put some additional money aside for the following year, especially if you think that your tax band might change because of enhanced income (by way of high FX rates). Allan, I agree that the principal...

Allan, if the rate is high in 2015 and then drops later in the year (change in U.K. Government) your tax is levied in 2016 (for 2015 income) and will have to be paid out of that reduced income. I appreciate you could "put some of the enhanced income away" but in practical terms people don't tend to ...
