Um. Well, you probably don't want a conversion (house divided into flats - they usually have little twisty staircases and weird hallways). You might avoid...
Yes, I know Teddington isn't the least expensive of the options :) but it is where the job is - so we may not move to Teddington exactly but need to live in a...
Maybe you can mention that you have "oversized furniture" or "American size" to bring in. That seemed to help us a little bit, although our chinese wedding...

Hi Sanjay, There's an IRS office at the US Embassy. They don't prepare returns but were very helpful with my questions. They have a link on the US Embassy web...
Hi Sanjay, If you have any tax questions or need an accountant, you can try Grant Thornton. I'm not sure where in the UK you are/will be, but they have...
Hello, I have a question about dryers in England. We are moving into a rental house in England that is not equipped with a dryer. We know that we will want to...
You can get a dryer that pulls the water out and you just have to empty the reservoir out. That way it doesn't have to be vented. I am not sure where you can...
I agree that an accountant is important. We are moving from Florida to England and have hired an accountant to help. There are things to be concerned about how...
Sure! it is a great start to know the alternative options on how to handle this. Just the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks! ... empty the reservoir out....
They're called Condenser Dryers and can be found in just about appliance store. From what I can remember, I think they may be slightly more expensive...
Yes, I'd prefer not to use the dryer racks - I know it is a better use of electricity and when time is available I will try to not use a dryer - but sometimes...
Yeah -- that or regularly be hit with the charge of being too Philistine and American and a raper of the earth for always using a dryer! I no longer buy...
As I move on October 1st to the UK - if I have my visa does anyone know if there will be any other documentation required upon entry to the UK? Everything in...

Let's step backwards, and please don't read this with any view of criticism. I am merely attempting to make sure you realize some things. Let's say you never...
Where the heck are you? Out in the country? Why can't you go out for a walk whenever you like? Isn't there a pub nearby? Can you get a bike? A mobile...
Check out meetup.com. There are several ex-pat American groups in London. I live in Nottingham and go to the meetups here. I've lived in the UK a long time and...
Hi- I guess I stupidly thought I'd get some support for feeling homesick and the incredible cultural difference. I love a lot of things about England, but...
Thank you, Arlene- that's such a nice reply. I really appreciate it and the support. I will have to check one of those meetings out. At the moment, I can't...
Actually, I wasn't not giving support, and snapping at people who are only trying to help you certainly isn't going to net you much sympathy, either from...
