• Hi Perdu, I previously saw Jem16's post and composed the bit below, came back to post it and see your new one
  Hope the below answers some for you, I'm in a bit of a rush at the mo. so please ask away anyway, or in new thread would probably be best, and I'll do my best to answer later.

  No worries, I am still here,
  if anything of value/help to others here arises out of my consultations elsewhere I will put up a summary.
  That was one reason for removing the questions : they were pretty messed up and all over the place and multiply repeated, ie. generally a bit garbled by the time we sorted out what peeps needed clarification on. And I dont think it was being read and assembled in a cogent fashion
  So no, I dont think any of it left in place would have been helpful to anyone !
  Yes, I did think that it was a problem of offshore being unusual for most peeps here,
  but will not be unusual to any IFA who, as you said, do pass through.
  In fact some did ! and nowt was said
  Anyhows, I am typing this quick for y'all before going to one of my meetings on the subject, if it doesnt make sense, fire away more questions / thoughts and I'll review later.
• Thanks for coming back Corncrake.
  It seems that I have one of these beasts, taken out many years ago when I moved to France - probably seemed like a good idea at the time. I am likely to return to UK at some point and vaguely thought I'd be able to draw it down over time, possibly using CGT allowance. Realisation is slowly dawning that this is probably not the case and that I have a lot of learning to do!
  Lots on at the moment so have to dip in and out, but I'll head over to your other thread and make a start.
