My point is that its more about the 'person' and what they take from where they live. You can get 2 people live in the exact same place, one will find it boring, the other, exciting. One will experience bad service, the other, excellent service. One will feel homesick, one will fit in. Too many people on this forum take 'their' experiences and preach that its gospel, and if people dont except their experiences as 'the way it is' then its not their problem and I have seen them become downright rude about it. I do mean this from both sides of the fence, UK and Australia. 'Experiences' are such a personal thing. Post your 'experiences' but consider them like an opinion, because no ones will be the same and not everyone is going to agree with them. |

I would take it that your avatar expresses an opinion of everyone on this site - or is it to be taken as gospel <g>. |

Do you post to correct the slagging that Britain gets by would-be migrants (as much as correcting the negatives about Australia?) :)

Hi Northernbird. Thats my point exactly, I am not kidding myself as you will know if you read my posts. I just feel that Australia can offer me a better way of life at the moment. I do not plan to live there forever and never have. People have just lost their way with this post and it has turned into the usual Oz versus U.K rant.
Take care. BTW do you not love Gordon anymore. |

Take care. BTW do you not love Gordon anymore. I can't remember who said it this past week, think it was Possums but can't be sure. Come for the pull of Australia, not for the push of Britain. Britain has lots of good things, lots of bad things. Australia has lots of good things, lots of bad things. Its finding your own little niche in the world, you may come here and Australia may not be it and you may realise that for all the faults you saw in England it is still home. Nothing wrong with that but until you have been, seen, worn the t-shirt then I would reserve judgement and take the rose tinted specs off. |

Re: I cannot believe Oz is as bad as this.
I think some of you have misunderstood what i meant. What i meant was that if you dwell on what might happen you will eventually feel like a victim without being one. And yes i do know what it is like to be a victim, when we lived in England we were burgled 4 times and had our car stolen and broken into on numerous occasions.
