The OP would run for his dear life after such reproach.

You are missing the point. Its not a fault finding exercise. Either you help or stay away from offensive overtures. This forum is for immigrants, and will stay so.

Surprising to see such a reply from senior members of the forum. Meats, the question asked by Krishna1215 was quite valid and he is looking for FIRST HAND info from forum members about Scotland. An IT Guy with 12 yrs exp and a family would have definitely done the required Googling and hunting arou...

Thank you.

ohhh..an interesting topic. Nobody answers the OP's question with a correct context, and a conservative naysayer who has nothing to do with immigration( he, his parents, his grandparents are all sons and daughters of the soil, proud fellow) is bashing gordon brown and every other immigrant within re...

should I claim my tax back ? and they stopped paying the NI?

Very complicated. If I were you, I would run to an immigration Lawyer, and seconded that with a Tax consultant.

I found this very surprising. Is it a UK bank account or a Isle of man/Jersey/Channel Island bank account in pound sterling?

I work in The City (right outside Bank Station) and live in Essex. I see you live in Kings Langley. Do you work in the city as well?
