A downside to migration
 
From the BBC

According to the Office of National Statistics, it seems the UK is missing about a million men.

Its thought they may have all migrated, but since no-one looks at who leaves the country, who can tell?

So now you know why you keep bumping into pommies everywhere you go!

They must all be doing the yadda yadda in the OZ outback. It has a dire shortage of women, so much so they have TV shows and magazines that help Ozzie blokes out west get a wife :eek:
I told you the lack of Next is a serious problem for us girls.

Women of childbearing age, nice hips, young enough to help on the farm seem highly collectable. Just get the womens weekly, available in any dentist or hairdresser in OZ. Largish women, (no good being weak and skinny on a bull farm) under 30 with a keen desire to learn farming seem to end up with the wedding gown trophy.:D

Now theres an opportunity for ya ladies

:D

I liked the guy who said he didn't like crowds - do they know what a crowd is in QLD? or has it a different definition- like more than three people in a room or something? ;) :D
