Re: A Place in the Sun Down Under
 

Hi,
i have just joined today and have been reading your posts on a place in the sun and thought that i would let you know that a new series of Wanted Down Under starts on Monday at 4pm on uktvstyle channel 246 on sky.

I am currently training as a nurse and hope to make the move to oz with my husband and 2 children once i have qualified. I know that its not going to be as smooth sailing as these programmes make out, but it's just something i got to do otherwise i will regret it and at the end of the day i would rather regret the things i've done!

Yea - and blighty's like one big charity where everyone helps everyone else and nobody ever falls between the cracks.

God what a crock ...

Hi again

Who was drawing comparisons between Australia and the UK? It is simply an observation about Australia which alot of people miss. You see alot of hardship working in the public sector. Of course the UK is not immune, but I am sorry you seem to sceptical about the UK - there are many nice people there too, doing alot of good.

Thanks for you charitable contribution. Have a great day.

Hi - Im in agreement with you - I am not waking up when Im 60 and saying "I wish we had gone".

I am training to be a midwife and we are moving asap. Lots of luck with your course.

PM if you want a chat.

I thought the presenter was highly irritating. She reminded me of a typical estate agent, out for herself and not really listening or respecting what the couple wanted or getting annoyed if they change their mind. Luckily in the end they found something they liked. I hope they enjoy Melbourne.

Amanda was very hormonal and did try to get them what they asked for, yet all the things they said the wanted and weren't bothered about changed. I fail to see how she was irritating? How would she be out for herself, I'd be pretty certain she'd be getting no part of any fees paid.
Do find this thread annoying has been well and truly hijacked by some posters to meet their own needs.
Have to say didn't really enjoy the show..... hopefully the next couple are more consistent with what they want and come present themselves better

I thought she was unprofessional, full of herself and opinionated. When they looked at that house which had the nice garden but was hideous inside she seemed irritated with them. Yet they are the ones who have to live there and have every right to change their mind. I didn't like her attitude that she seemed to take it personally. If she was a professional she would have respected their opinion and move on. Instead she came accross as quite bitchy and annoyed that they didn't like it. At least with Phil and Kirsty when someone changes their mind they have a joke and a laugh about it and move forward. Amanda seemed to be much more immature. Sorry - I just didn't like her!

If any one missed it, go to channel4.com and go to the "catch up" bit. Never seen that feature before thought it was great, all the last programmes on from the last 30 days.

Didn't think of that! You're a star, here's the direct link

Edit: Oh, and you'll need WMP 11+ and a genuine version of Windows *grumble*

Re: A Place in the Sun Down Under
 

They did say they didn't mind if inside of house needed work. Plasterer would have sorted out the house I think you're thinking of. As she was heavily pregnant I'd say she deserves a bit of slack.... But you're entitled to your opinion

And be in the UK? How does one get around that message?:unsure:
