On Saturday I met a woman frm the Sydney region she also had similar medical problems as I have, 10 yrs ago she left our shores shes now sympton free all for $32 towards the cost of meds that and the climate given her a new life .. she told me the care she got in the uk was rubbish compared to what she has gotten in Sydney .
That alone us enough to have to get a visa.
It sounds like you want to come to the uk, do you think theyd let us swap , lol ... if I was you I would reconsider this country is going to the dogs.. tory government has changed too much , unless your of ample means your not consudered as having needs , the NHS has totaly gone to pot both myself and my husband have had serious issues with the way now dearly missed members of our families were treated at a time when every resoucre should of been put into there care. But if your gone 60 .. your care in the NHS is not what it should be.
There have been hundreds of stories similar in the press ..the jobs on offer are not paying what they did 3 yrs ago due to E U citizens accepting wages under the minimum wage. Thats is you manage to get a contract thats not zero hours... these contracts arent just going to those at the bottom end of employment but office work & Banking roles have been reported to also be offering these . This is the con the goverment have allowed to go just so they can fool the british public that theyve created millions of jobs.. most of them are not worth having.
Housing is also mega expensive to buy especially in or near any big city.
I wish you all the very best if you do come over to the UK ?
Have a very good day and thanks again for everything

But with what your saying we are now rather upset and confused. My hubby served in the navy as a chef for 16 yrs cooking for foreign dignitaries and V I P S, cooking all types of cusine, along with cooking for the Royal FAmily Inc Prince Philip and her majesty, I would think this was special enough!!
We just have to keep looking for an employer ...

Many thanks
Carol and Jeff.

If you are called in you get some work...if not then tough shit!

You really need to be a bit more realistic about what you think it is like here.

I will be returning to the UK in the next few weeks.....partly to get back to a more liveable climate......and partly because I am bored beyond belief here.

I hope you find the life you need back here in the uk.

Have a good day carol
