Old life Pull up to pump. Get out,Benefits of moving your family to Dubai Articles fill up the tank. Get everyone out of the car(with Car DVD) after filling the tank, troop into the fuel station, try to block shelves filled with sweets with your knees as you queue. Pay (faint at price – perhaps we could re-mortgage?), then herd everyone back in the car.

Run round madly getting everything, then queue at checkout. Unpack onto conveyor. Pack everything yourself. Grab shopping, kids and head to the car. Exhausted.

New life Drive into car park, park in any one of the big available spaces designed to fit the huge Middle Eastern cars. Spot a trolley right by your car, get children out and put them in it. Do the shopping, and at the checkout, stand idly by whilst someone packs it all for you. If your children are kicking off, or you realise you don’t want to push the trolley, get said packer to deliver your goods to your car, and pack them in the boot. Drive home serenely. Usually stress-free.
