3 Years on , back in UK
Just thought I would see if the content of the site had moved on , sadly its not.
Still full of dreamers and near do wells who post newspaper clippings to prove the unlucky country is better than the UK , any one who picks fault with Aussies or OZ beware , no quarter will be given. Having returned to the UK I cannot say I miss Perth , far from it , I travel more , enjoy seeing family and friends also have managed to gain very well paid employment so life is good . The press paint a bleak picture of the UK , so I shall give my impressions how the UK has changed in the 10 years while I was in exile . For a start people are more wealthy in general thanks to low unemployment and high house prices also low interest rates, have never seen so many Mercs , BMW's and top of the range motors on the roads in my life. Having a holiday home abroad is no longer a dream , its very common , the TV channels have grown beyond number so have the Radio stations . The Indian immigrates have on the whole become very English in dress and outlook ,most new immigrates from Europe are no different to most of those off to OZ . The weathers very mild in the Midlands, winters are cool but little if any snow or frosts , summers seem warmer now , spring and autumn are full of colour . People still have a great sense of humour and being English is more to the fore front , St George flags flying every where. The media which is still mostly owned by some Aussie/Yank , is sinking to new depths by the day , reflects its owners culture very down market, real news is hard to find. Well in general I cannot compare a cultured country to one with none , Australia still has to find a place in the world , hopefully it will grow to be the place of dreams but that day is far away , shallow country with no new ideas or direction. |

Re: 3 Years on , back in UK
Wonder if any of the other old posters of lore will crawl out of the woodwork ... don't seem to recall the name PB being mentioned without a following 'Dotty'.
