39 Years Outside Uk

If you'd lived 39 years outside the UK would you want to return to live there? Would you rather have a holiday to visit relatives and see new sites etc?
The place where you live has a bearable climate - you can manage without a heater in Winter but the Summers are extremely hot many years. (It usually takes most people about 6 months to 2 years to aclimatise completely - depending on age and how typical seasons are.)
You have an internet connection so you can see very well what is happening in the UK.

If I had the money or a job to go to, I'd move to a nice warm place, but I think we all feel the need to go back to our roots at some point. Hang in their, the feeling will pass. You've found and settled into a nice place. There is nothing more stressful than moving.

It would depend on the reason for returning wouldn't it.

If I ran out of money and returning to the UK would get me out of a long term fix then yes I probably would.

If it was just because I had retired then no. Why go to live in another country if you want to return just because of (possibly) one aspect.

Have a bit more practice dear, on some other "Question and Answer" websites, then try again here. We don't normally take prisoners.

Any useful answers. No. Question far too vague. Bad attitude too.

what do you mean, "direct people to a more suitable answer"? you only want us to answer one way, then?

Thank you wildwood, SlackAlice, Sqad, coccinelle, jomifl, maggiebee, AlwaysConfused, cassa333 : good answers. :-)

You make a good point FredPuli43 - one directly related to the subject of the question. :-)

Thanks, ST24.
The original post was harmless enough, though, if this was not hypothetical, it would have helped if you named the place you described.
I think it was your second post in the thread that got people's backs up.

I wouldn`t, but never say never. My friend emigrated to Brisbane when we were school kids and she is now really missing the UK (35 years later). She would like to live for 6 months in the UK and 6 months in OZ but you have to have quite a bit of money to do that. If I had emigrated, the UK weather would put me off returning.
