    Totally agree with respect to the UK Government, Alan. I too can't imagine how we can put up with another four+ years of this gang of goons. Something has got to happen to get us out from under this net zero nonsense. Hopefully this Government won't get us into WW3 before they are kicked out. Safe trip back to the UK!

    Alan, you are spot on with your line of thought.
    Only after your last video I said to my Filipina wife , I wonder what Tyler is going to do for work and his future in the Philippines has limitations.
    I too am a British citizen who has been in the motor trade for the majority of my life and have been living in Spain for 25 years now retired.
    The wife and I both watch and enjoy your views on the Philippines and your experiences.

    You are a good dad and I see that. Try and get him into IT technology; good career and you don't need a degree to get started. Done me proud has IT over the last 35 years or so. I also have a house in the UK, paying council tax, etc, and I am in Thailand. I have a lodger (rent a room scheme) so I have someone in the house and he covers all the bills (my mortgage paid off like you). Having someone in the house is important for insurance purposes; basically you are not covered if the house is empty more than 6 weeks. My lodger has been with me 10 years so you need to find someone you can trust. You will have a problem adjusting to the weather; I do. I have been living in Thailand on and off for 30 years so I am used to Thailand. Hope this helps.

    I respect your honesty, Alan. It takes a big personality to, firstly, make a change in your life as you did and move halfway around the world and then realise the need to travel back to the UK to attend to personal issues and be frank and open about it. It can sometimes look like being a broad is like being on a long holiday but there are different issues and struggles where ever you try to settle. Hopefully your time back in the UK is productive and I'm sure your old work mates will welcome you back and maybe, if Steve needs someone, he may offer you some short term work to keep you busy and provide TH-cam content, good luck, all rhe best.

    In my opinion it would be better to stay out there. You have absolute freedom there, that is also priceless. I'm a 34 year old working class man in the UK and was raised by my single dad since I was 16. So you guys are kind of a situation I can relate to.
    I haven't done well in adult life, and I know very few people that are doing well. And even those with money and a semi detached house and an audi are not happy.
    It's miserable here, and since 2019 it's become far worse. UK University Engineering Degree will be full of higher value, more easily employed, Chinese and Indian students. Asia is the future after all.
    The old way of "get a degree, get a good job, good pension, nice house and a mortgage", it doesn't exist in the same way it did many years ago.
    I would say sell or let the house and consider other options. What about the potential Philippine links to USA or American firms? And maybe links to Spain, Singapore, Oz or Hong Kong?. There's gotta be options.
    I get that Tyler feels he's missing out on his life with his UK peers and possibly feels abit out of place with people his age in the Philippines.
    But things can improve and in a couple of years comparing life to UK peers wont seem so important. And I bet they would love to have a mate over in Asia that has a place they can visit.

    It is a shame that you do have to come back to the uk, however you are coming back for the main reasons.
    Tyler could actually work within Main Brand car companies which are paying £20+ ph (Production/ Assembly Op) and that requires no experience or qualifications. It would be good for him as the pay is decent but he’s learning and gaining experience.
    The uk has been crap as the cold weather has came early and hopefully once you are back you can get things sorted. Hopefully you won’t have to get back into a job and hope things do still go well with your partner.

    I think he governments plan is to link the council tax with your property's carbon footprint.
    The same way that road tax has become an emissions tax.

    as you said, the time so far with your son has been priceless and for that reason alone seems to have been worth it for you. Also doesnt Tyler seem like the engineering type (Its very heavy on maths and a lot of theory based learning), maybe an apprenticeship to learn a trade would be better suited.

    I am a lifelong Labour voter Alan...No more!! My wife and I are retired and have mobility problems now. What thanks do we get for 50 years of working and ruining our health? 'Die as soon as possible as you are now a drain on the economy'. Our winter fuel payment is gone as we are considered to be over the limit on income. ALL politicians are born liars and are puppets for their paymasters. 'You will have money and a good life but you must do our bidding'.
    Hoping all goes well for you mate. Tyler has a great Dad.

      My father is 78, mother 76 (mobility issues) and my father was told earlier this year he has to pay tax on his pension now 😒 They've had to make some cut backs to compensate so they can still go away in the caravan, not struggling but not rich either. Gone were the days when you look forward to retiring. I'm 54 and not looked into it yet as I know my current pensions won't let me retire early.
      I wish you and your wife the best in retirement, hope you can cope with the mobility issues and have many more years together, regards, Richy 😀👍

    Good morning Alan in a leafly part of Surrey. I'm your age, same age son as and it's always nice to see Tyler featured on your videos. You gave me the confidence to fly to Daveo in mid December for 27 days. Thank you. As for the UK,, it's the worse it could ever be. No standard of living now, & so many lies by the Government. If you are around in December, love to have a beer with you and other half who is Filipino. Personally, you have a better cost of living in the Philippines. I'm afraid the UK has gone down the pan. Beautiful island, but corrupt HRMC, Local Authorities, Energy Companies, PM, Home Sectary, CTax etc etc. For your own health & wellbeing, stay around positive people. UK, is not the UK I know anymore. Alan, Good luck buddy. Stay safe and live that amazing life you are having with you, Tyler and your lovely lady. Duncan..
