I'm with Prober on this one.

As an expat living in an Arab country, I already have MY OWN escape plan for my family.

My wife has a credit card with about $30k free on it, and has been told what to do if I'm away and it kicks off here. Basically get to the Airport with the kids and get on the FIRST flight to ANY other country.

Although it's unlikely that anything will ever kick off in Dubai, our neighbours across the 'Persian' Gulf may have plans of their own, or I might simply run over an important Dish Dash.........!!

In any case, there are around 200,000 Brits here and there is NO WAY my family or I will be at the back of the line waiting for the FCO to dig us out. We're all adults, why don't we start taking responsibility for our own lives?
