Hi NKSK.
Thats a good point. The fact is it tells you a lot about the state of mind of the people of Britain.I have taken a little bit of stick which I can take but people have not read my post properly. Hello :rolleyes: I do not hate the U.K or think that Australia is utopia A lot of people return to the U.K but they also leave again. Some people moan whatever.My old buisness partner used to run down the U.K and moved to Spain only to want to return. England is good but not great anymore. The likes of Sassenach and Arkon left the U.K and moaned on about it and they have done nothing more than moaned about Australia, if the U.K is so good in their eyes then get back here. They epitomise the whingeing pom in every way. Australia has the same problems as England so don't kid yourself. |

He may not have had such a bad experience if he had moved to a city suburb. I think Arkon can see it from other peoples point of view and accept others opinions though that Australia will work for some and not others and the same goes for UK.
Australia has the same problems as England so don't kid yourself. Take care. BTW do you not love Gordon anymore. |

I am talking day to day. I have been to Scotland on holiday and there are not a lot of jobs in a lot of those quiet areas. Ireland is my favourite place out of all my holiday destinations including Australia but who wants to live with a family with no work prospects. This thread is getting a bit silly as I am talking about the day to day frustrations of many people in the U.K. We are overpopulated and overcrowded in the U.K and I am sorry but no one will convince me differently. Prospects are all about application ,if you can apply yourself you can make it anywhere if you arnt making it in the uk in the boom times you arnt going to make it any better in the boom times in aussie . I dont think really you quiet understand Australia is the same in every way to the uk ,it has the same social problems etc etc ,money problems etc etc you talk about the uk as if its finished and the day to day dramas are all to much and no prospects it is exactly the same shite i was saying 16 years ago ,the only difference was we was in a recession then and the recession was worse here with interest rates up to 18% and no work ,it took me 6 months to get 2 weeks work and we lived in a tent for 8 months . If you have a varied life in the uk ie travel around a bit .get away a couple of times to europe ,like go for country walks ,visiting historical places ,and look forward to weekends and have a few laughs with your long time mates be prepared to sacrifice all of that for a 5 and half to six day week in hot weather with only the beach on asunday to break the monotony .If you like the idea of that then good luck to in aussie . |

Point that Sassenach makes is that there are holes in every country and if you live in one of those dumps then move, but moving to another country wont always solve your problems. i.e. If you hate the hussle and bussle of living in a city but cant relieve the stress cause the cities are violent at night after work---then move to the country or by the sea---same applies to most countries in the world. |

All those bad things I left the UK for by and large didn't directly affect me so why were they so important at the time. It can only be to help justify the move.

From what you just said you should never have moved in the first place. I am affected by a lot of the issues I raised. You left the U.K and why? Me and many of the "mob" are affected and at least I have a valid reason for trying it and not just because it is in "fashion". Have the balls and say why you wanted to leave the U.K in the first place. You just seem an unhappy person who needs to look within your soul. |

Do not like the cities in Ireland in the sense of living in them (missus is Irish). |
