It seems that the UK is becoming the new Portugal (warm retiree destination with stagnant non-retiree economy)

That seems quite a claim from one datapoint...

Ah, more of a joke on your datapoint. And the traditional British practice of retiring to more southern locations in Europe.

FWIW, I retired to the coast in the NW, I have a beach on one side of the house and a park on the other. It's pretty nice :)

Even up here in the NW though, it's been too damn hot recently...
