...a belated thought occurs.
This is pretty meaningless unless compared with the number of immigrants,
surely?

I imagine the figure would have been roughly similar 50 years ago had
the relative level of wealth had been the same. My parents knew no-one
who had a villa abroa; I know dozens.
It would have been nice to know if the majority leaving were retirees
seeking some Sun, or young talent going to more lucrative spots.

I thought that might figure in your reply, naughty naughty.... I didn't
respond to T's claim in that thread as I thought it was such an obvious
no-brainer.

Don't let the door slam on your arse as you leave, Triple M.
I believe Shangri-La is rather nice at this time of year, though friends recommend El Dorado. But Cloud Cuckoo Land would no doubt suit you better. And take Oberstumfuhrer Trump with you.
