To tell the truth I wish I was back over in the Philippines, Emma has done nothing but Moan Moan Moan since stepping into the house and is on repeat saying the same thing ‘ PUT THE HEATING ON ‘. Are you still cold? Maybe these will help. Edited March 5, 2020 by bob1965 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Philippines is an indication of 3rd world prices Brexit would need to put them up somewhat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Philippines is more expensive than the UK - if you want to buy imported chocolate and crisps etc then you can expect to pay more here than you would in the UK for obvious reasons but that would apply in reverse as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live very cheaply here in England , I shop very wisely, change all my major bills every year for a better deal if I can so I think I would be saving very little comparing the prices , but yes I would have to go without my treats . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of a good English beer these days years ago it use to be a nice few glasses of brown and mild , plus the fish and chip shops are closed as it’s 3-45am here and the heating thing well, if Ems walks around in her shorts and teeshirt which is nice to see, rather then a jumper and slippers the heating will stay off, kuripot is the only thing they got right about me in the Philippines . Brown and Mild down south was called a Boiler Maker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same in your home country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBM Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Steve when ever your procrastinating my suggestion is for you to go back and re read your many posts on your recent trip here. This should at least confirm your correct to be far away, at least for a while and when back far from that family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the hills and far away springs to mind, since being back to normality I have started to put things into place about our future plans and the Philippines is just a tourist destination and to see friends in my eyes but as always it’s Emma’s family and we do talk openly about how she feels and my thoughts about them too and she is stuck it’s that simple , she knows what they are like but her love for them is deep, she can go anytime to see them and for how ever long too but I will not go to see them for more then a day or two, and that’s only to see what damaged they have done to the house . Spain is now a place to look at for our winter sun , it may be rubbish it may be great but we are going to give that a try . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
