North Wales? I could piss that far!
It may seem surprising, but North Wales has roads and railway lines. It's something to behold. If the old dears are missing their family, then the family should go to them. They are not on the other side of the world.

You see, they've lost the advantage of the house price differential, which is where you cash in your average sized but expensive semi in the London area, buy a cheap house in the sticks, and use the rest as an annuity.
So he's committed his profit, house prices have doubled since, and being retired looking after his invalid wife there is no chance of him increasing his funds. It's unlikely he'll ever be able to afford a decent place back in the south east, especially with features required for his wife.
But I concede he might be able to come back to a one-bedroom flat on a chav estate somewhere for them to see out their last days.

My wife's uncle retired to north wales seven years ago. Attracted by a cheaper house in a beautiful part of the world.
But he's miles away from his family and everything he knew, and his wife is now wheelchair-bound. They both wish they never gone. The price differential means they can never come back.
And it rains a lot.
