An immigration thread is going to be more popular than a moving back thread for obvious reasons. Why an earth do people need to ask lots of questions about a country that they were born in and have lived in. They don't need to ask half the questions that the people who are moving to a "new" country do.
I thought that was pretty obvious myself
- I don't need to know about visa's, health, what area to live, etc, etc in the UK - like I would need to know/ask about a new country which I was going to live in for the first time.cheers

Aus has no monopoly on "outdoors". There is a lot of it about. I have enjoyed it all my life.

disagree. people wanting to move back home would want the same kind of reasurances/discussions as people leaving.

The Uk is my home, I was born and bred there.

No. I am living off the NZ incomes and so cannot afford these luxuries. Unfortunately, I am not a holidaymaker with pounds stuffed in my moneybelt, but someone living within the constraints of the reality of life down here.

I said nothing about the rich Don. I said skiing was a luxury. It is not a necessity (unless you live on a mountain or your name is James Bond) and NZ incomes soon force you to make the distinction between necessities and luxuries.
