5 things you would miss about the UK!
Hi everyone,
If you had to choose 5 things you would miss most about the UK after immigrating to Australia what would they be? Honest answers now!
Also included are the lucky people already living in Oz, what 5 things do you guys miss most?
Only one clause, you're not allowed to choose friends or family in the list!
Looking forward to all your answers!

2. Knowing the roads and short-cuts in my town
..... racked our brains for 10 mins trying to think of what we'd miss - sorry, all we can think of! I'm sure the two we will miss, we happen in time when we get there.
On a secondary note - guess there's nothing keeping us here!!!!!!!!!!
