Got into a debate with someone last week and genuinely curious what people think.…

I was complaining about how hard it is to manage

UK accounts from abroad. Banks and stuff, you know. And someone replied basically saying: well, you moved. Why do you expect another country to make things easy for you? If you wanted UK services to work smoothly, you should've stayed in the UK.

And I kinda understand that statement but.... the reality is that there are still many ties to the home country for many people, no?

Yes, I moved to Portugal, but my mum's in her 70s and I'm still her emergency contact, for example, and I need to keep my uk numbers, I still have a UK business with UK clients and other things like that are still valid.

Where do you lot stand on this? Do you think that the whole system is genuinely kinda behind or not?

I'm not complaining or anything it's just I didn't have a good answer in that debate and it made me curious what others think.
