Tues/Wed 5pm CH4 - A Place Down Under
Not sure if this is the same show that was recently shown in the evening but it might be worth checking it out. It's following eight families wanting to move to Oz.

Can't watch it because Anglo Pacific have just packed our VCR. A 40 foot container will descend on sleepy Droitwich Spa tomorrow, can't wait to see the neighbours faces.

Bloody hell! I know what you mean. She cannot find anything positive to say about anything. My hubby reckons her hubby must be a saint or very thick skinned, lol!

Can they not find new families to follow? It was so disappointing to watch and I could easily have punched the Skegg's woman right in the face! So many of my friends and family would love to emigrate to Oz and HAVE visited the country before but can't get visa's - she qualify's as a midwife and they hop on a plane, then winge about everything as soon as they land. Incase you missed it, she hated the weather - too hot, she hated the sound of the birds - too noisy, the sand was too hot under her poor little tooties, she complained her wages were low (well in Oz they base a nurses/midwife's wgae on levels of experience and she had none!), plus she hated her job???? Ummm...lets think YOU CHOSE IT!!!! She hated the shopping - as there was no M&S and she was running out of knickers- WASH THEM or get rellies back in UK to send you more, oh and to top it off she disapproved of having a white hearse and coffin??????? Whats wrong with white, better than dismal black! Cannot believe that of all the families that emigrate every year , London Weekend Television decided to follow them? They give us lot who love the country and it's people the name a winging POME, and who could blame the Aussi's for thinking that after watching that performance?

She was a real pain. Funny she complained about men taking their shirts off. That was one of the first things we noticed in the UK. As soon as the sun comes out fat men with no shirts showing off their tatoo's.
Do people just choose to remember what they want too about the country they leave. Probably is why I only ever remember the sun shinning in Wellington!

For all that I slated Mandy last night, I've now become one of her biggest fans.
Her whinging had me in stitches yesterday.
Every time she open's her mouth she reminds me why I'm leaving the UK.
