I’ll start with what was playing as I walked in to my GP’s today, “Another one bites the dust” by Queen…

Same experience! Given how prolific Swiss Water process is, I was really surprised how stark the difference was. The finish in particular was quite unpleasant compared to EA and CO2

Headline reading: The grass isn’t always greener: why expats return to the UK About 99,000 Brits emigrated last year, but 61,000 came back. These are the challenges of moving back to Blighty after living abroad

How many times do I need to say this?

These are not expats, they are immigrants.

You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant.

I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?
