Hoola,Great advise thank you. Yes thinking about it I will wait to see what happens next year with Brexit. On the tax front do I still get hit on that side as I don't have a UK tax code anymore? my class is NT, I am guessing emergency tax will be taken and I claim back?
BahrainThat’s not because the pound is strong. It’s because the Php has weakened against pretty much every other major currency in the world over the past 2-5 years.
BST, Thanks thats what I thought. Yes when Brexit came some of the team here were paid in pounds and overnight took a approx 15/20% paycut. I am paid in USD so when I next may return to UK in a years time I may be in for a nice time with exchange rate.Hoola, spot on a liter of 8% mind numbing Red Horse does cost exactly that If you buy from me.
Hoola,Magandang umaga ng maraming salamat Kuya,I have a bar/ restaurant in Mindanao. Yes my wife is Filipeana, we are both are still in Bahrain/Saudi working until we plan to return to Fils next year (my 50th) and early retirement, hence the bar business being up and running and making money now. The 120Php is off sales price not bar price
Hoola, The language is tricky to say the least. I am usually fast at picking up language, but Tagalog I have found difficult. The only saving grace is the many years of Spanish occupation brought a lot of words in to the language you can recognize to an extent. Also a form of Tagalog/ English ( Taglish) is widely used especially on TV and films. Speaking the language isn't so bad once you realize you say exactly as it reads. But there is a spanner in the works once Tagalog is mastered!! there are over 270 different regional sub languages. My Wife's is Maguindanon, and with it being the ARMM the Muslim region of Fils there is Arabic mixed in to it. Have you been for a visit or holiday? Its a haul I know from the UK, its 9hrs from here in the Middle East. Its a fantastic place and you would not wish to meet nicer people ever ( Outside Of Manila of cause) I recommended to friends to go visit. They went in June for 10 days and as of now still there with no sign of returning. I love the place I could go on and on about it. There is a guy vlogs on Facebook under the title Becoming Filipino, worth a look at his adventures.

Take It Easy Hoola. Yeah Red J what a trip UK to the Far East bit by bit. The car I have out here I love it and will hate to part with it so much I have looked in to ways to drive it from Bahrain to Phils. Epic trip I would love to do, but the last part is financially impractical as the shipping and import duty will be way more than the car is worth. The route would have been a hot one and I do not mean temperature. Saudi/Kuwait/Iran/Pakistan/India/Bangladesh/Myanmar/Laos or Thailand/Cambodia and finally Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City. Still contemplating it and donating the car to a relief agency.
