I just don't see how it could be worth it though, they are pretty cheap to buy.

Maybe the European Union have a use for them?

I meant the Customs people, not the outdoor heaters further to my conversation with Superior.
Sorry to confuse.

Can anyone confirm that regs can be bought (or will you need a licence to change it like everyhing else??)
Marco, I agree
and I dont think it will take much brain work!! :scared: Bill

Actually, because Brisbane is such a big place, i'm kind of interested in knowing the areas that people consider to be Brisbane. We have some friends from Sydney who said they were moving up to Brisbane, They moved to "Toowoomba" to be precise
145km west of us

Question is, is it worth taking it to Brisbane, will it definitely not get used or what?? Should we just sell it, will we get calor gas in Oz to work the thing??

145km west of us I had visions of you sitting there with your spreadsheet, a list of expats down one side, and list of suburbs along the top, plotting intended location/actual location, frequency, trends, % change from last year. Expat population forecasts by suburb, region, school catchment areas, correlation to house price change.... all that.
Are you sure thats not what you are really doing?
It would be so much more interesting Cheers,

See you on the patio.

) fittings where you just slip the hose on and jubilee it up..out here they are screw fittings well they are on the regulators I've seen and searched for..

but it all got a bit much, too many people arriving here And with my memory being what it is, I can't even remember now who has said where they are going.Actually, that % change from last year would be very interesting
