There may be a world wide economic crisis and the pound may be weak against other currencies but any idea that the exodus from Britain of those settling abroad might be waning appears wildly premature.
The latest survey predicts 1.8 million Britons retiring abroad by 2025 and 3.3 million by 2050.
The survey, on behalf of NatWest International, provides further evidence that the majority of those making the lifestyle change do not look back. Nine out of 10 expats interviewed said they enjoyed better quality of life and six out of 10 said they did not intend to return to the UK.
However, three quarters of those surveyed admitted to feeling homesick some or all the time, missing friends, the British culture and sense of humour. I think we could all list the things that they didn't miss.
