You can cook your meat for free at one of the many BBQ's located in the parks in Sydney. Can't ever see that happening in the UK.

I couldnt find a cheaper "infinite" (all calls and texts) Mobile Phone plan in the UK than Vodafones infinity 50 buck one here ?
Probably looked in the wrong places O2 and Orange ? I actually went looking to show people at work how cheap the UK was and got a surprise when I couldnt find a cheaper infinite phone plan.

That's interesting, I know that home phone/broadband/TV packages are way cheaper there and mobiles always used to be as well.

There is a farmers market in Blamey Street, Brisbane on a saturday morning. The quality is really top notch. The fruit here tastes ten times better than teh UK. I think the price compared to the UK is probably a bit higher but then me and OH earn more than twice whta we did in the UK. We definately aren't spending twice!

I have read this a couple of times, I was in the UK late last year and the fruit was great. I'm not sure where you would be getting this disgusting fruit from ? I'm not saying it was better there but it tasted no different.
