Didn’t follow through your old thread.

I have been in London for a while on business. It is crazily expensive, despite my employer covering lodging. Average restaurant meal costing 20+ quids - and is bland, your palate isn’t even tested. Coffee is fantastic but 3.5 quid. Thursday a pub day - going at 7 - 8 quid for a pint of neck oil. Tourist tax refund taken away. Strikes on a weekly basis. Deep rooted systemic failure with the country.

Only make sense for a fresh grad to gain experience here and make a bonus leap to Asia.

Mid - 20s, is a go. Mid to late 30s, too much baggage. From the sound of it, the household need a son to shoulder and perform filial piety.
