Whingers
 
Ok so this isn't going to win me many friends on here but..... let me just say this isn't aimed at any individuals and isn't meant as criticism just observation.

I have been using this forum for a couple of weeks now as I am just starting out trying to get a Visa (I may already have a job lined up!!!!). I am amazed at the negative vibes in many of the threads. People seem to keep judging the place by British standards they are used to. Newsflash folk - you ain't in Britain - so you can't get fu**ing mcvities biscuitsd or Iron Brew and Yes it is ****ing hot - etc etc etc - That is because it is Australia not Kent or Essex or any other county - Get used to it - Put up or shut up!!!

Is it any surprise the Australians refer to us as "whinging pommes"?

Right thats the end of my ... er... whinge I suppose!!!!!

I know what you mean, we love it hear, it does not bother me in the slightest that we dont have the same food and everything taste different ,you get used to it.
And as for M&S and next and other stores it does not bother me either, i am happy with the shops here.
I remember talking to somebody who came back from Brisbane to UK, she did not like the heat, for gods sake they know it gets hot so why do they come here,some people are never happy, go for it , enjoy it, thats what i say, Denise from the beautiful south west.
