Well yes, but a variety of issues, the job less challenging, missing home etc etc....

I can understand this - they seem to be mostly speed camera and breath test operatives in WA.
(And when they do get a big investigation they tend to screw it up)

The majority that come to SA do it for a quiet life, if you've done it as a career move you'll be disapointed!
Like all professions here, it can seem very old fashioned to Ukers, I guess it depends what you are looking for.

Yes, and marmite and M and S!
I don't think you'll find the UK recruits are necessarily briefed in everything, and it just doesn't suit everyone, who knew what it was going to be like living here? I didn't, despite having visited.... you never know... and even bearing that in mind you can't fully appreciate cultural differences....

and what's wrong with tetley tbags?
I should point out, I'm not taking a pop at people who come here and dont like it for whatever reason, I just doubt the reasons the article gives for them going back. More likely the pay and conditions etc. weren't as expected rather than they couldnt get a decent cuppa or a Marmite sandwich
