Do behave are you suggesting then that 2 of my dads (rip) old pals that i happen to know well were lying about living and working abroad ? one made a go of things in Spain 1971 where his wife followed shortly afterwards, another moved and settled nearby the following year. both are now back and the last time i see them both was at my dads funeral in 2012. as far as i am aware they are both still alive.. would you be prepared to call them a pair of liars to their faces. ?
That's 3 if you include the mrs as well that i know of, there must have been plenty more. no doubt next you'll be applying they settled there illegally.

It's complicated and really requires a detailed explanantion so I'd Google it if you are that interested but it basically means if the local authority do not feel you are present enough or do not keep the property in a way they deem suitable they can repossess the building and transfer ownership to the region or they can transfer ownership over to a previous owner who makes a claim. That can, of course be a good thing sometimes but I'll leave you to figure out the reasons it's not great for Brits wanting to own property abroad under likely restrictions bought about by our likely departure from the EU.

and meanwhile the Bank of England issues rate increase warning to the mountain of £200bn household because of Brexit;

The £200bn of debt amassed on credit cards, personal loans and car deals is now at the same level it reached before the 2008 financial crisis and there are fears that rises in interest rates could put more households under pressure. Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, warned on Monday that interest rates were likely to rise in response to rising inflation and skills shortages brought on by Brexit that will increase pressure on wages.

but don't let Brexit worry you. It's really going to be ok, honest.

So growth will slow rapidly to 1.0%, yet inflation higher than it's been for some time, and still rising, with the possibility of increased interest rates. Any economist on here want to wade in on possible outlook for the UK after Brexit. I'd put my money on f*cked, but it'll be ok for the muppet baby boomers who voted for Brexit, they'll be able to return to work and keep us afloat.

Would have been £16 Billion for the year we leave. Also interesting to note on those projections we would have probably been paying £350 million + a week in the near future ...

Reducing immigration (already happening) would certainly help whereas continuing with net yearly immigration well over 300,000 (50% ish from the EU) is unlikely to.
