I will not quote the posts following my last one, but address them and posters collectively. Not all my response applies to all posters. Posts to or about me in the last couple of weeks have demonstrated a lack of knowledge regarding laws, rules and regulations, yet posters have made statements...

How little you know and how you invent things. I never said he had an Australian passport. I never said anything about him “joining up”. Why do you invent such things merely to try to show you are smarter than somebody else, yet fail because your inventions are wrong? Best if you stop trying so...

Any decision a parent makes on behalf of a child means it is forced upon the child. We forced him to be educated in Scotland because we took him there. He is pleased we did. He was automatically Australian because he was born there. As I posted, when he was old enough he chose to be British...

Why should I? Why should I force that on him? When he was old enough he chose for himself. He chose British.

I gave you the links to make it easy for you. I reckoned you would not have bothered to read my posts. Few people do – or anyone else’s for that matter, even if they are in the mutual fan club. They automatically just give a like. What our son achieved academically would have been impossible in...

As I have previously posted I disagree with most of what you have to say about Brexit and the UK, but you post responsibly on most occasions so am quite happy to deal with you. I particularly liked the way you tried to educate wanton dwarf about non dom status. I completely disagree with your...

A lot warmer than in the Rede valley. Summers cool of course but winters very mild even for a wallflower like me. This is my second one here and I am yet to need to roll down my shirtsleeves. Underpants, trousers, one pair of socks, wellies and a shirt with sleeves rolled up all year round. I...

You did not reply. You addressed a post to me after I addressed one to WD. You interjected. You took it wrong. I sent a message to him as to what would have been the situation in Portugal when the UK was in the EU. What the situation of you and your family is in France has nothing whatsoever to...

I normally stay out of this thread because of such responses to posts not addressed to the responder. I did read what you wrote, e.g. your agreement (#4780) with its yourself that what happened to WD AFTER he had been paying tax in a country for 5 years meant he could not have been in the EU...

@wanton dwarf Re Swimming Pools. You need support, so, despite our disagreements from time to time, I decided to look up the regulations regarding a public pool I knew in Portugal. Not a club or private entity but publicly built and financed. It is not the one where somebody told me a permit...

All these folks crying “Hypocrisy” about me moving from the UK to Portugal must be about ready to burst their boiler as the saying goes when I tell them I moved from another country into the EU in 1992. The matter of FoM did not enter my head when deciding to move to Portugal. We chose it...

Oh dear WD, I have a horrible suspicion you have yet again misinterpreted what the regulations are. lbp is not a muppet. I disagree with almost everything he posts, and he is wrong about people being not being able to move between the UK and EU, but he is not a muppet. On the other hand I regret...

@wanton dwarf I am pleased to have been able to like a few posts you have made. I do wish though that you would read posts from @stewart regarding our disagreement on what is non dom status. You really would benefit from it.

You are a fine one to write about assumptions. Please be so kind as to tell me which assumptions I made in my post. I cannot find any. It was not a question of being happy to use “freedom of movement”. There is nothing hypocritical about someone deciding to experience life in other places for a...

The ballot paper said we were - I am old enough that I voted out then too. On the ballot paper the electorate were asked: Do You Think that the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (the Common Market)? Yes or No were the choices. The Yes vote was about 2 to 1.

I lurk a lot more than I post on TFF - particularly on this thread. I agree with your sentiments and just about all your posts. I abhor those ex-pats who have no intention of ever returning to the UK bemoaning the choice of UK voters to leave the EU. They do not live here so they should...

Wrong. Answer some of the questions I have asked about your accusations, even if you think they are not unfounded. I do not need to provide external references. The law is clear and you can read it as well as anyone else. I am not making assumptions or guessing. I have never admitted I cannot...

TBH you think wrong. You have no idea about the meaning of non dom. Several posters, @stewart in particular, have tried to educate you, but you will not learn. Whether this is deliberate or an inability to understand I do not know. Your attachments have been in relation to people living in the...

You have not told me where I stated something you claimed I had. What can I not back up? I am fairly sure I have not made a mistake. You have not posted any legislation. You have posted a number of articles and some government information, which apparently you do not understand because you have...

I agree that dual taxation agreements vary between countries. I felt it best not to go into too much detail in my post. The one between the US and Portugal is different to the one between the UK and Portugal. The pensions arrangements with Australia and the UK are also different to UK/Portugal...
