Re: UK snow in spring...why?

Actually, technically, the UK is still in an ice age - it is interglacial period at present. The world climate is not doing anything unusual. It changes both heating and cooling at surprising levels.

Re: deal or no deal

However, dont look at mining jobs - they are getting harder by the day to get as mining downturns and staff are laid off. Both BHP and Rio are...

Re: UK snow in spring...why?

Its not difficult The UK has always had a risk of late snow - same as it has always had a chance of later summer - known as the indian summer. It is not evidence of climatic change.

Re: Lied to get WHV and now in Oz but Girlfriend want to report me to Immigration!

Its actually a bit worse again. As if he was kicked out of Oz, then any visa to any other country outside of the EU would be pretty hard to get. Even tourist visas

Re: Are the current generation of kids/young adults namby pamby

I think the employment stats say it all really. Look at places like Mackay which have been crying out for workers, but unemployment in the 18 - 24 age is at 50%.

I see it a fair bit in my industry....

Re: pensions-suffer-in-britains-big-freeze

Winging poms. They know the rules and if they dont like it, nobody is forcing them to move here.

On a similar note, though, the super funds here are crap. After 5 years, and calculating the NPV, i...

Re: Moving to Australia and trying to work out the cost for a young family

You can't just sponsor him as family. If he has no more family in the UK when you leave, he could apply for last remaining relative visa. However, the wait list on this is about 15 years.
