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

He’s not local, no. He had to get a license to marry there when he was planning the wedding, but I think it’s a different kind of license? He had to be there for 2/3 weeks whilst it was all getting processed.
Whilst he was there a few of the locals he became close with said they would definitely be up for helping him organise and establish his plan to gain citizenship but he hasn’t really spoken to them since so we aren’t too sure what they can and can’t do.
