Problems do occur - but here there is support to overcome them. Any time something goes wrong in UK they forget the saying "failure is not the falling down its the not getting up".

Re: 5 things you dont miss about the uk now your in Oz
The traffic jams on the lovely M1
The drizzle
Heating bills
Scrapping Ice of the window screen in order to see at least some of the road through the fog and mist
Staying awake all night in bed cos I am too cold to get up for a wee
