Life Update, Back to the UK

Decided to return to the uk for a while

[@johncollins2966]

Your a good dad and fair play for putting Tyler first and trying to sort his and your lives out. Good luck for the future.😊😊😊

[@raybeer5213]

*you're, not "your". Basic grammar.

[@user-ol8kk8nj5k]

No need to stop the vlogs, we watch you not just the country. Keep posting when back in the UK us fans would love it.

[@Spookieham]

Great words mate you have nailed it in one. Those who work for a living in the UK and have a bit of cash in the bank or have paid their house off are going to get absolutely screwed over. We buggered off to Australia in 2006 and our lives are so much better here. Whatever you do your followers and supporters are on here.

[@s550days]

You are a good man and your son is lucky to have you. If you want a lift from Heathrow in my ULEZ compliant 5-litre Mustang just give me a shout, got to use it while I still can!

[@chucky2316]

I hope alan does a video of the beast

[@wormhole6667]

Your a great person, and honest man

[@raybeer5213]

*you're, not "your". Basic grammar.

[@neilwharton720]

Lot of respect to you for putting your son in front of your personal life.👍👍👍

[@bartoszk4812]

Thanks for the update Alan! You've given Tyler experience of a lifetime! Looking forward to further updates. All the best!

[@alancobbin]

It will certainly be nice to see you guys back in Cambs, your politics Alan is spot on,Sadly like you have just said the UK is in a much worse position now unfortunately which is getting very scary indeed 😢.

[@Treehuntor]

ALAN I FULLY AGREE WITH ALL YOUR COMMENTS

[@gregoryhudson9906]

Totally agree with respect to the UK Government, Alan. I too can't imagine how we can put up with another four+ years of this gang of goons. Something has got to happen to get us out from under this net zero nonsense. Hopefully this Government won't get us into WW3 before they are kicked out. Safe trip back to the UK!

[@johnt6949]

Respect to you Alan looking after our kids amazing

[@69spook]

I'm totally with you regarding point 3 & the Labour government. Lots of people I chat to are really worried.....😕

[@Jumpeyuk]

regarding Labour it would be even more reason not to come back to UK however we mustn't forget "you'll own nothing and will be happy"

[@soothingnaturestudymusic3454]

A proper Dad right here.. hats off too you

[@barrados101]

Geez I'm gutted for you Alan. Hope you get something sorted when you get back into the UK. Good luck and wishing you all the best.

[@nehrudinp]

Hello master Alan. Mondeo mk5 will be happy to have you back.

[@Andrew-hx6lm]

It’s so tough to make a living here in the Uk…. 😢Stay there Alan

[@allandavies9488]

You have to put your family first. Councils and Governments have too much power over private property. Your comments about the politicians are spot on.

[@nigelwilliams7403]

Thanks for all your honest opinions Alan, and best wishes for the future of you all. Nigel

[@hrmfa]

I really appreciate your videos. You have to help your son, even if it sucks going back to the UK. You are doing the right thing. You should be proud.

[@chriscoombe9230]

Memories that will last a lifetime Alan. It's just one big adventure and I'm sure the bairn will look back on this for many years to come. Good luck.

[@craigcousins6718]

Glad to see you have kept your sensible head on - all the best to you and tyler - youve worked hard to get where you are today mate and thats from your sheer skills and the fact that you can turn your hand tp anything you try

[@dominicwinn7800]

I respect your honesty, Alan. It takes a big personality to, firstly, make a change in your life as you did and move halfway around the world and then realise the need to travel back to the UK to attend to personal issues and be frank and open about it. It can sometimes look like being a broad is like being on a long holiday but there are different issues and struggles where ever you try to settle. Hopefully your time back in the UK is productive and I'm sure your old work mates will welcome you back and maybe, if Steve needs someone, he may offer you some short term work to keep you busy and provide KZbin content, good luck, all rhe best.

[@grahaml334]

You're a brilliant dad. I wish i had a dad like you. Good luck whatever you do.

[@GeorgeHasAQuestion]

Always enjoyed your videos Alan, especially as a proud owner of a Mk4 and now second hand Mk5 Mondeo! All the best, look forward to the next update!

[@Vortecks]

I left the UK just after you moved there, I saw something bad coming out of the forthcoming (at the time) elections and I sold up and left whilst I could. Good luck mate, I've enjoyed every one of your videos and I hope you'll continue showing us all how bad the UK is.

[@tazio2]

Wishing you and Tyler ( and Khennah also ) all the very best for the future , maybe down the line you will return . I think you are 100% correct to do the best for Tyler , he is a credit to you Alan . We in internet land will be thinking of you . Take Care and very Best Wishes to all of you.

[@richardmckenna9702]

I take my hat off to you Alan as hard as this for you it’s the right thing to do for Tyler and look forward to you back making videos in the UK

[@murex2murex826]

well said my man, good luck with what ever you do

[@autodallee4527]

Alan, you are spot on with your line of thought. Only after your last video I said to my Filipina wife , I wonder what Tyler is going to do for work and his future in the Philippines has limitations. I too am a British citizen who has been in the motor trade for the majority of my life and have been living in Spain for 25 years now retired. The wife and I both watch and enjoy your views on the Philippines and your experiences.

[@foreignermakingmoney-phili1458]

your spot with Tyler having work limitations/ future life limitations unless you can do digital nomad type work. More likely you goto live in the Philippines later in life once you have made your money in the west but they have had a great near of a year time there bonding.

[@paulhill2426]

alan 100% correct what we have in charge now is looking like the final nail in uk coffin .

[@TheDaf95xf]

Hi 👋🏻 Alan. What a lovely honest story 😊 It’s the best for Tyler and what a top Dad you’re 👍🏻 Wish you both luck and hopefully you’ll make a video with Monica 😘 Take care Mr mondingo man Stevie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@josephhalwagy6435]

Alan, You are a good honest and a successful man. You always doing your honest best for your son. Never forget the cream always to the top. And you will continue rising to the top throughout your life.

[@armunro]

You are a good dad and I see that. Try and get him into IT technology; good career and you don't need a degree to get started. Done me proud has IT over the last 35 years or so. I also have a house in the UK, paying council tax, etc, and I am in Thailand. I have a lodger (rent a room scheme) so I have someone in the house and he covers all the bills (my mortgage paid off like you). Having someone in the house is important for insurance purposes; basically you are not covered if the house is empty more than 6 weeks. My lodger has been with me 10 years so you need to find someone you can trust. You will have a problem adjusting to the weather; I do. I have been living in Thailand on and off for 30 years so I am used to Thailand. Hope this helps.

[@Marknotgym]

Alan I wish you all the very best. You have been braver than many, there are those who dream and those that lived the dream. Well done for giving it a go and who knows at some point you may return to the Philippines. Good luck to you and Tyler. I hope the channel will return to show and reflect your return

[@andrewfelton2844]

I'm sure Keir Starmer will welcome you back with open arms. Been to the Philippines 16 times and are due to go in November again. I know where I would rather live. In fact I am pension age and claiming my state pension. I will be moving over there next year. And In mindanao where you are. Safe flight home.

[@HantsLeo]

Me too, we'll be moving out there in the new year.

[@leer9951]

My previous comment got deleted. Massive respect to you for reversing your life to put your son first, well done. From a selfish point of view I'm really looking forward to your videos back in the garage. I've got relatives in Huntingdon, so I'll pop in again one day. You're spot on regarding housing in the UK. First they have gone for the landlords, next they'll hit the owner occupiers.

[@chadderz1980]

Fair play to you Alan,your kids always come 1st,I’ve loved your content,all the best on you return to the uk

[@stephenegginton7590]

Nice one Alan never a true spoken the uk is going down the pan good luck to you both enjoyed watching your exploits it’s been a blast 👍🍻

[@1simonreed]

You and Tyler have had a wicked time. Like you said, memories are priceless. Could Tyler do an apprenticeship or something at Steve's ?? All the best. will be looking forward to your updates.

[@camperp195]

Follow your dream alan,tyler will grow up and find his path,he will be fine,sometimes as we get older and our kids have grown,as parents,we have to think of ourselves sometimes,you have one shot at life,make it great,and as you rightly say the uk is dead now,make your life in the Philippines and live the dream,i sure know where id rather be.

[@christinejeffrey5994]

You are truly a good dad.

[@stevehayes7921]

Well surprised alan !!! I think it's amazing how you think of everyone before yourself...one hell of a dad mate...loved watching your vids & antics!!! Wish you all the best.. PS, couldn't agree more with you concerning the powers that be in UK..

[@eamonnnugent2103]

Good video Alan. I haven’t watched as many of your videos as I used to, as I miss your Mondeo & garage videos. You are right about the net zero absolute crap. This Labour government will push everyone over a cliff.

[@PCashie]

Good luck Alan with your future mate.

[@GrantDudgeon-rp9to]

All the best Alan. Hope Everything works out

[@chucky2316]

Best of luck maybe make some you tube videos of Cambridgeshire, youre going to miss the Philippines and khen and crispy 🐔. Tyler is a good lad. Brace youreself for youre return to the uk it's bleak at the moment and we all detest this labour govt.

[@1ADP]

Great video well done hope things sort themselves out for you.

[@rfshortwaves9706]

Good morning Alan in a leafly part of Surrey. I'm your age, same age son as and it's always nice to see Tyler featured on your videos. You gave me the confidence to fly to Daveo in mid December for 27 days. Thank you. As for the UK,, it's the worse it could ever be. No standard of living now, & so many lies by the Government. If you are around in December, love to have a beer with you and other half who is Filipino. Personally, you have a better cost of living in the Philippines. I'm afraid the UK has gone down the pan. Beautiful island, but corrupt HRMC, Local Authorities, Energy Companies, PM, Home Sectary, CTax etc etc. For your own health & wellbeing, stay around positive people. UK, is not the UK I know anymore. Alan, Good luck buddy. Stay safe and live that amazing life you are having with you, Tyler and your lovely lady. Duncan..

[@grahamevans9606]

Alan....sorry about your situation, have followed you for years. I tried twice to move to NZ back in 09 and 11. Regarding Labour and politics.....I and many others agree 100%. Vote Reform going forward....Two Tier Starmer won't last 12months...and Labour won't last 5 years. All the best.

[@chasmcl42]

Alan Ive loved the Phillipines videos🙏(what an adventure) but missed your videos at Steves, i remember the video when Steve said he would keep a job open for you, i can see this is hurting you but your right your son comes first. Ps Reform are growing fast👍👍

[@DerekObrien-tk7we]

Have enjoyed your videos from the Philippines tks

[@AndyP-b9z]

Good luck Alan. I was worried that you would have to look for a rental property, I'm so glad that you don't. Any chance that you could get your old job back?

[@colinmcnally5931]

Best of luck with your decision making. If it were me, I would sell up in UK as things are going to get much worse here.

[@tonyc2837]

Brilliant and honest video Alan. I share your concerns about this net zero nonsense. I wouldn’t be surprised if these politicians don’t go down the road of forcing people to upgrade their homes to comply with this absolute nonsense. The saying you’ll own nothing and be happy might not just be a conspiracy imo.

[@ROUTEPLANNERPAUL]

[@the1beard]

100 percent agree with you 👍

[@callumpeyton1867]

It is a shame that you do have to come back to the uk, however you are coming back for the main reasons. Tyler could actually work within Main Brand car companies which are paying £20+ ph (Production/ Assembly Op) and that requires no experience or qualifications. It would be good for him as the pay is decent but he’s learning and gaining experience. The uk has been crap as the cold weather has came early and hopefully once you are back you can get things sorted. Hopefully you won’t have to get back into a job and hope things do still go well with your partner.

Sad to see this video but completely understandable, i do hope you keep making videos when you are in the UK and good luck with the future if you don't make videos for a while!

[@HantsLeo]

I'm sad for you Alan, i thought you'd sussed it. The UK is doomed and you could rent out your house using an agent to look after it to get an income. I'll be going out there soon but I'm worried about the education for our young daughter and the healthcare. Good luck, you'll always be OK.
