Taste.

In all possible meanings of the word.

And as far as the original question is concerned - the end of the resources boom, the miss management of the Australia economy over the past year or two, and the relative rebound of the UK economy, with the expectation of better to come with a new government.

Personally I'm not sure about that reasoning - I think the EU is on course to implode and the UK gets hurt by the shrapnel, but I can see how everyone is looking forward nervously to GFC II and the inevitable chinese collapse as well.

I agree, chuck everyone out who's either a) arrived from overseas or b) whose ancestors arrived from overseas. Oh, hang on a minute....

Vegemite should be rebranded Vagimite.

Didn't the more favorable exchange rate and low interest rates in the UK help too? There have been people who redid their sums some a few years back and realise they were on to a winner. There have been migrants who won twice - moving over prior to say 2004 to Aus then catching the reverse side moving back after say 2011 etc. A 5 year plan or stay might have been perfect!

I don"t know, it was at a friends house, it wouldn't get into my shopping trolley, the kids would turf it before I got to the checkout!

Isn't that just Marmite with a non trade mark infringing label?
