Re: Why is it so hard to get a doctor?

As Rinso suggested go private. Diacor or Mehiläinen for an initial consultation, at least. I am originally from the UK and I find the service I've been having under the Finnish National system very good. The fact that the doctors seem young to you is a matter of you aging. I hope all goes well with ...

Re: Expat car Insurance UK

Thanks, Secret,

It's like a minefield and one company has quoted £289. for 28 days, so I'm using that as a base. I'll certainly take a look at the sites you've suggested.

Kind regards,

:-D

Expat car Insurance UK

Hi all,

I have to return to the UK. My son is letting me use his car, but I have to MOT, Tax and insure it. I haven't had UK car insurance for over 9 years. Is it easy to get car insurance for a month or so?

If so, can anyone recommend an insurance company.

Thanks in advance. :)
