Perth to be precise. Beau place, folk alotty strange. dont talk !!
To be blunt - if you have family in Uk and are close.....dont do it.
You'll miss em too much. Great weather, beaches. Not enough .

Your post contains the classic ExPats error: Condescension.

Surprise: emigration was not for you, its only for a tiny minority and you were not among that number.

However, rephrased and expanded, YOUR experience just might be a valuable contribution.

I invite you to post more details about YOU and YOUR experience, based on the assumption that YOU are an INDIVIDUAL with PERSONAL preferences and that YOU might share PERSONAL preferences more akin the those of the MAJORITY who do not emigrate or the ~50% of British emigrants for whom emigration is not suited.

Australia does not need or want unhappy emigrants.

If this is truely a new member who has just found this board, why isn't he questioning why people are calling him PB and why isn't he asking who is PB???
Even if it's not PB it's someone who's been on here before.

Anyway if you are really what you say, please give us some more info, or don't, because I'm going there anyway, and if people base their decisions on posts like this, then they haven't researched enough themselves.



Why didn't I just ignore this post....................

I would really be interested to hear how he's doing though......

No, YOU got sick of the weather, YOU prayed for a rainy day....doesn't mean that we all will. Just because it didn't work for you, don't assume it won't work for others. I think, maybe partly, that it is this attitude and lack of logical thinking that brought you home as one who couldn't make it.

Glad you've been there and are back, so the rest of us can go and make up our own minds.

You are the weakest link!!!

Goodbye

*(()*Hey Blurt You must have sat and watched for me logging off last night how clever.Your answer to my last posting was exactly
3 mins after me logging off .
Yes I spent six years in Aus Elizabeth just outside Adelaide,My wife was also born there.She lived all over as her Father moved with his job(Prisons).
I don't particulally like the sun.so I'm not chasing the weather.
I am going to give my kids another option,if we don't like it I will return and admit that I FAILED.If as my kids grow older and decide they wish to return to the U.K. I will support them not KNOCK THEM DOWN.Wind your neck in and get a life or get on quietly with the little sad one you have,wallowing in self pity,because you couldn't hack it
