My husband is a plumber and has been for 20 years in the Uk, he also has all his Cioty & Guilds etc from years ago, he is now enroled on a college (tafe) course over here for 3 nights a weeks 5pm-8pm & 6-9pm and will be doing that for about 9 months to 'qualify' for a full plumbers license. He is working at the moment on a provisional license for somebody but cannot work for himself. Hope that helps a little. Good luck.

Hi
I've just shipped our Border Terrier to Sydney with Golden Arrow Shippers, and they were fantastic.

Price, well I got a few quotes and these guys were the cheapest at £1400 and have definately got my

Um, your wife sounds very assertive and determined, you might find
(i) she doesn't want to leave
(ii) you may like it and want to stay.

Whatever happens good luck
