Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
They may love it here but just prefer the cakes in the UK, hardly a crime is it?
Loads of things that I prefer in the Uk, loads that I prefer here.
PS I have no idea what else you said

Dear me! Fraser, I thought you'd have known by now any criticism of Aus is frowned upon!
and if you say any different you're a whinging Pom

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
In our case I really hope that the move turns out to be a defining moment for me and my family and expect that, bearing in mind the excellent nature of the majority of Australians (any society that can generate such a number of people with a great sense of adventure, humour and apparent lust for life can't be all bad), that we will be making friends and enjoying our new life quickly.
Thanks again
John

sorry for the delay in replying , also sorry you found it hard to read my post. I type pretty quick and dont check, send. As I have a busy busy life, will try harder to make sure all is good next time.
No I have never been to oz but know if anyone thinks oz is britain with a warmer climate that it is not, it is going to be completely different that is common sence.
Too many people are google eyed get there then think i cant bear it it's not like that in the uk
I quote a friend of mine who lived in sydney for five years said he was standing in A bakery, and some expats said they don't serve cakes like that back home in the uk,better back home , my friend replied( if you don't like it here piss off back to the uk..)...
.I have never been but know if i had any doubt that i would miss any part of 'best to be british' i would never go, but i am so not proud!!!!what is there to be proud of.....am off to oz in 8 days yipeee....just for holiday though.

It was your post #442 on this thread that started the alarm bells ringing for me. To be blunt, we've probably all heard it before and been guilty of it too. The 'oz is going to be so wonderful' syndrome. That's it, that's all I wanted to say.

For the record, it will be more a "shed warming", but hey, it'll still be an open (out) house.

They looked a bit like shark bait (especially in Adelaide)
