Bye - its been emotional

[Dave A]

I remember when skatingsparks first arrived on TFSA from the UK like it was yesterday.

Folks, this isn't a SAffer emigrating to greener pastures relatively unknown. This is a UK sparkie who came to SA following a love interest and pretty determined to try to make it work here. After 8 years, and with some understanding of the sort of nonsense he had to wrestle with along the way, I have to say he clearly gave us a solid shot.

I have never had a problem with people that want to emigrate, but what has always puzzled me is why they have to "announce" it. Why is that ? Perhaps you can answer me ?

In this case, seeing as being part of the TFSA community was a part of the journey - I'd suggest it was out of common courtesy.

Skatingsparks, don't be a stranger. I'd be happy to hear your first impressions on "being back home."
