Good luck sharon with the move...you'll only know whether you can live here until you move here. Each person on here has different needs and experiences to you which makes this site somewhat pointless sometimes.
Apart from the banter which is quite good!

It doesn`t. But my original point was to find out why it was being compared to the U.K (Same sh!t different bucket).
I`ll have to go shortly though. I need to buy myself a brand new shiny bucket and go and polish my rose-tinted spectacles.

Well if it doesn't matter, can we now take this thread totally off topic, and start talking about washing machines

I also know that Paradise doesn`t exist.
Once again, Why did you go in the first place and why do you want to come back. I never said anything in life is easy!

Now, the majority of Brits that return to the U.K seem to be doing so due to homesickness, not because of the state of the place. So, instead of banging on about people wearing rose-tinted glasses, try supporting them instead!
Opinions are one thing. Sh!iting in buckets is another.

I'm one of those brits who want to leave because of the state of the country. Don't get me wrong, there are some things I love about UK, but escalating crime rates is not one of them. i have other far more sensible reasons for wanting to go to Oz too, but I can understand what Sharon is saying here.

Sorry for p!ssing you off so much! I guess that deep down maybe I`m just scared sh!tless of the big move. I have never been before and am not planning on a trip before hand. Could be that I end up in the same situation as yourself and be really annoyed at someone asking the same question as I did. The thing is, i won`t know till I get there! I hope that all my dreams and expectations will not be shatted once I am there.
Take care
