Young Fresh Auckland
Back from Auckland and i can honestly say-what a great place to be!
I am trying to get back in April. When I arrived at Heathrow, yes I was sad. Miss the people, miss the open Kiwi mind framemis my beautiful darling and bab ,
I am 28 and right now London is Sh*t when compared.
Before I left I thought maybe this will be a great to visit but however, I miss it already.
London stinks, is terrorist paranoid, money hungry, greedy , competitive, self obsessed, moody, too media focussed and crowdy.
I truly believe that London is still the best place in the World but can be the worst (in terms of whether if you earning money).
I like London because you can earn shi*t loads of cash but the quality of life is poor compared to NZ.
I value this short meagre life that we are bequived, but if god (any god ) lived on earth, they would live in the South Island and shop at New World +plus drive a porsche. Roll on life and bring it on!!
Fluffy clouds!
I will apply for working Visa Dec 04. I currently work for UK L.A in planning. My partner is NZ cit, need to ear more cash though but right now i got balls biggger than melons about this move!
Mr big smiling balls and positive!x

It's not all ugly with bad public transport!!!! (I happen to work for Tramlink!!)
Kidding aside, Croydon has got 10 times worse in the last 5 years with crime, street rubbish and yobs! I personally think it's our Trams bringing ruffians into the town from other bad areas. I always liked Croydon, but in the last 5 years have seen such a decline that now I cant wait to move abroad.

I am so glad we still have some supporters left!! I know for a fact how seriously we take running a good reliable service, of course we have a few problems such as overcrowding in the peak hours and safety/security issues late at night (Ruffians again!) but we are addressing these. The main one being introducing a new schedule next year which will decrease the time between trams on Line 1 (Wimbledon) from 10 down to 8 minutes and introduce an extra tram. We have also increased the amount of Security guards patrolling the system and British Transport Police are doing more plain clothes patrolling.
While I am here, can I just say to anyone using the Trams that if the doors are closing try pushing the button on the doors rather than jumping through closing doors as we get loads of complaints from people who get trapped/hurt in closing doors when I know that 8 times out of 10 the doors are on release and will re-open if only someone pressess the button! (If the sensor just inside the doors is not activated the doors will continue to close). Thanks
