Moving Back To UK (England) any one here done it?
Elbow
problems (and 3 kids) I feel I cant survive here on my present salary
and insecure job security.
Im desperately trying to find some places that have any information on
the subject.Im not sure where to look, something with a forum perhaps.
I want to do it but not sure what I need to take into account before I
do it.
Anyone done the move?

I thought you didn't have your gaijin card with you. Maybe you meant your
passport since you don't need the Japanese ID if your stay is shorter than
90 days.

Information on how to move back? All you need is a ticket...

So you went back to the UK, and saw greener grass?

This is probably not the best place to look, since this group is about life
in Japan, not life after leaving Japan. However, why do you need a forum? It
seems that what you really need is a job in the UK and some cash for your
move. I hope you used some of that time back in UKland to do some job
hunting.

Somebody must be drunk methinks!
Elbow says "I've just come back from UK"... which means he is now in Japan.
You think that he went back to the UK.
My best guess is:
a) Elbow is not an English teacher.
b) I am still slightly sober.
c) You are entirely intoxicated!:-)
The mystery question is now: Is Elbow in England or in the smoky backroom of
a Tokyo koban explaining UK law to the omawarisan in plain English?

Er, no, actually I meant that he saw greener grass in the UK (and wants to
go back presumably).

So I guess this means I'm *really* drunk.

You're not wrong mate - and you know WHY you're not wrong? Because Grade 2
Junior High School students all over the country have recently been studying
the: 'I have been to such-and-such a place' point of grammar in their
wonderful textbooks. It just so happens that some of these JHS students
decided that they wanted me to help better explain this simple - if unique -
usage of the verb 'to be'. So at least this week I know my 'ingrish'
grammar.
It's actually one of the more interesting points of grammar to teach - lets
me run wild cataloging all the many different countries I've been to -
admittedly most of them in Europe. Unfortunately, this is totally lost on
practically all JHS Grade 2 students - especially in my neck of the woods.
I have to use example sentences like: 'I have been to Matsumoto' or 'I have
been to Mister Donuts'. I usually throw a reflexive pronoun into the
construction too - but it became embarrassing when I realized just how few
of my 14 year-olds had actually been to the movie theater by themselves or
with a friend (3 out of 18).

Stop breeding.
Elbow
I just came back from Uk sounds ok to me.
All I was hoping for was if someone had been here and gone back and
still kept in contact with this newsgroup.
And the comment about me having to stop breeding......I will once I
have a full squad.
Come on you Arsenalllllllllllllllllll.
