He’s like an all round tradesman at the moment but he hates it and his dream is owning some kind of b&b/guesthouse/cafe on the island although he’s said he’d do anything if it meant living there

Is he local? If not he might struggle to get a license to live here, they introduced new laws a few years ago that basically said if you’re not born here you can only work here 5 years before you have to leave for a year and then come back (unless he’s offered a job and his employer would get him a licence)

I guess good for him if he likes it, but the lack of anything wears thing very quickly, half the high street is empty because of the extortionate rent, there’s nowhere over here to buy men’s clothing anymore, no takeaways (like McDonald’s, KFC etc) no decent night life, a lot of online retailers don’t deliver here and during bad weather the boat that delivers food gets stuck so the shelves are empty quite often during winter I know some of those issues he wouldn’t be bothered about but yeah, that’s just a small part of why I really don’t like it here anymore
