Wouldn’t it make sense to post that in the UK or MBUK forum? Not the Australia one?

Well Ast, today the sun is finally shining down South, where we have been covered in grey cloud all week & I have had to keep reminding myself that it is summer & not Autumn! Of course, it will probably be grey & wet again tomorrow:mad:

Was there a particular aspect of life in the UK that you are interested in?:unsure:

I work in Shaftesbury & live half way to Salisbury! It is really beautiful countryside & especially green thanks to all the rain we have had this summer.:huh:
Think this is one of the things about Cairns that appeals.

Yes Cairns is certainly a lot greener than the rest of the country although we're just coming into the ever so slightly dry/crispy stage towards the end of the dry season.
I've noticed tonight it's warmer and more humid already...keep fanning myself with a piece of paper and I haven't had to do that for a few months (probably just had too much wine!)

I'm curious about how people are seeing this topic as well. Reason being folks on my London board are pretty gloomy at present. There was this news on Monday.... worst economic crisis in 60 years.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7589291.stm.....

Followed by an announcement of 1,000 jobs lost in the City of London yesterday, with another 20,000 to go within the next 6 months, Places like Dresdner, and Deutsche bank and others in the Merchant banking industry being hit very hard.
