First Impressions

So here I am two decades later, wow what changes have occured. I was aware of them. I read the BBC news on line and got the occasional newspaper. However the actual impact is far greater tha I could have imagined. It is for me like that I had been sentenced to Prison for 20 years and just come out ( in some ways I wish I had).
I do not need to list the changes but the observations are that so far I have noticed a cleaner Britain , less trash on the streets.
The roads and motorways were smoother less potholes.
People seemed more friendly and politer.
Travelling to central London, the air was cleaner and the traffic was far less no doubt due to the congestion charge, the high cost of parking and cost of petrol.
I hope that I will find work and a place to live shortly.

EX PAt Repatriated

I had lived and worked overseas for many years in many different European Countries. I had decided for many different reasons to leave Europe and work overseas. For nearly two decades I had successfully built a life overseas, home, job, car, wife and dog. Suddenly one day in May this came to an abrupt end. I was forced due to an administrative error leave all this behind and return to a city that I had not been back too in over two decades.
I hope in these pages and next few days and weeks inform you of my circumstances and whether I overcome them or not. I want to make it clear for political reasons I cannot identify where I lived to protect my family and give my name as I am still fighting the bureocrats in my former residence.
