Timings everything so they say
With the rubber Aussie dollar bonucing up and UK house prices on a down I do wonder which of the good people on this forum are getting their timing right?
UK house prices have dropped for the first time in two years and the fall is the largest since 1995, according to a survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Re: Timings everything so they say
So let me get me get this right PB. You're now saying that we should not have listened to you before, and gone to Oz when things were better here. Now they're turning to crap we should stay put. Great advice. Thanks for yet another little pearl of wisdom.

Yep, instead you'll need the wad of cash for the airflights to the UK if you want to see your family more than once every five years...

GBP500K for a house? In parts of the south east perhaps...my parents own a four bedroom place in Worcestershire, and I'm sure the dream about selling it for 500K !

Is it reasonable to presume you are incapable of performing simple arithmetic also? Is that why your steam valve is erratic?

You can give it, but you can`t take it can you???
Your arithmetic may be correct, but the figures you start with are grossly exaggerated...

We are the only family left in the UK, apart from my parents only, who are following on, all the others have been in OZ all their lives 10 pound pommies etc, so I guess we could come back to the UK for a holiday and have a laugh
It will be nice to see cousins, uncles, aunts and little brother,
Have fun in the conjestion ...

Hello there Scoobydoo,
Hope you settle in Oz..it will make a big difference for you to have family there.
Everyone has their own decisions to make...personally I like being back in the UK after a few years abroad...not quite sure why that seems to bother you so much...anyway....as I said hope it goes well.
