The beautiful picturesque RURAL villages in the uk are inaccessible to most first time home buyers.... Look at average wage/house prices.... I lived for a lot of my teens/adult life in rural suffolk...

Re: MY observations.
We certainly appreciate what the UK has to offer & Europe for that matter second time around ...
We miss Australia often, but only the friends we made - not so much the place. Then again, I think Perth was a bad choice ... If we had our time again, we'd be all over Melbourne like a rash. |

Cool, I lived there for a year.
I used to drink in the Wellington in St Peter Port. Don't know if it is still there but it was/is an Irish pub, rough as hell. I was told the IRA used to send blokes to the Channel Islands to lay low when the authorities were on to them in NI. Don't know how true that was but there was quite a turnover of hard Irish blokes that I made sure I didn't get into a fight with. Also the Jamaica Inn in St Sampson, used to hang out with Oliver Reed there - true story. |

I think I have the answer!!!!!!!! The rural bits of Oz aka "the bush" look like a nightmare scene out of Deliverance, I would sooner stick pins in my eyes than live there. :lol: |
