Roamer,
The answer to the first part is yes. You would have already have absorbed your tax liability in UK when the money was realised.
Things like government pensions are a bit different since they seem to take the view that the pension was earned in uk and therefore is liable to tax.
There are a couple of things to watch out for though .... such as NHS treatment. There are a load of loopholes such as previous government service (10 years is the magic figure I believe) and/or working overseas and maintaining documentation of making regular trips back. Only you would know the ins and outs of your own particular circumstances.
