Re: What will you miss about the UK?

Merlot...you're one of the good eggs on here. You see good and not so good of UK and Aus i.e balance of reality. So don't worry about justifying anything.

You're damned if you do...and damned if you dont

Go get some vino calapso......... and have one on me

On the whole Wombat ain't a bad old stick but he/she keeps confusing me with someone who is anti Oz, has never been to Oz and wants to live in WA/Perth

As I said, getting fresh out of handbags.

Family & friends who have known me forever Family gatherings, Birthdays and Christmas. Everything else I can live without but here goes.

Long summer nights
Being able to lie in the grass without fear of spiders or snakes
Natural beauty and nature
History
Weather I can walk in without collapse
The Lake District
Fish & chips from the local chippy

This in bold above.

What I get annoyed with is someone coming back with responses giving the impression that I have attacked Australia in someway, where all I said where the things I would miss when I leave the Uk to live in Oz again. There are a few things I miss about Australia but if I listed these would a Pro-UK person get upset and come on raving :scared: For Pete's Sake I am a dual Citizen and enjoy both countries!

Everyone to their own and have their own opinions. Just that if you put out a simple wish list it should not be attacked.

As far as heritage, a simple question to ask. Wombat does not have to say what it is but if he (or she) does not want to respond, they just have to say mind your own. Ignoring is very rude.

My bit for the day.

Merlot

I know Wombat has a reputation but his response to your post was not derogatory and I don't think he deserves the baiting he has received later on in the thread.

I think this thread has great potential. I think people should be allowed to state what they would miss, but also people should be allowed to say “we have that here”, without it falling into a tit for tat slanging match.

Regards
Alistair

Edit: no wonder it took a long time to write that - someone hit me over the back of the head with a fish.

Have to agree here, will certainly miss the Lakes on a nice warm summers day. Breath taking.
