Hi, Brian. It was me, indeed. I moved over here in December and have
been having a good time. Took me a while to get settled, but I've
rented a flat in High Wycombe and have been settling in nicely. The
last thing I need to do is purchase a car, and hope to do that in the
next month or so. Since then, it's been a car hire, which is starting
to get a bit dear. Hopefully, the car loan will come in after the
next paycheck!
I appreciate all the advice that was posted here for my benefit. I've
considered all of it, though acted on only some, as would be expected.
Oh, and Ron, I did pay my TV tax for my nice new plasma!
