Badgersmount,
For Christ's sake, for all our sakes, get help, lad. And do it fast.

I did a Years working holiday 4 years ago. Blew all my cash in 4 months and lived in Sydney for 8 months, after a while it was just like being in the UK but with better weather and lifestyle, didnt miss anything really and was very pi**ed off when i had to leave. What did start to grind a little was the winging Aussies not the tourists. After a while i felt like telling them to go and spend 6 months living in London and see how they felt after that.
My fiancee lived in London the first time she was in the UK, people seem to think the Aussies are in London because they like it. The majority hate it and are only here to earn enough money to explore Europe or to get home.
The majority of Aussies have never left the State they live in. They dont realise how good the've got it and winge constanly, about things that people in the UK take as everyday life e.g constanly ripped off by the goverment, crap public transport system, crap standard of living, crap weather etc etc
I found that the tourists didn't winge as they were enjoying the country so much.
What about that then??

You make money from moving people to and fro. Do you care if you are moving dreamers to Oz or the experienced back home? No. I agree with you.
