10 years ago on this forum there was a bit of a thing with people living the dream -with car, '4x2' and boat etc...all paid for...!

But the forum as a whole has been quite negative about McMansions...
4x2's are one thing, frightful mansions another..

The price of houses and the FX rate have surely been quite sobering for most recent hopefuls..

Definitely, Brits have such bad toe nails, probably because of the bad NHS it has.

Guys - if you want another pishing contest TAKE IT OUTSIDE - it gets boring and ends with reasonable threads being closed. GROW UP!

I am now officially over you guys having a pissing contest all over the place. You either don't like each other or you're getting off on your little spats, I don't care, but keep it up and you will be taking time out.

Sorry about the one post of mine, I can't recall what I wrote, but I was probably sticking up for the ArmChairDetective who has been kind to me since joining the site and there was a pack of posters attacking him.

Something cheaper than in the UK, rates are really cheap especially when you compare the size of alot of the huge houses in Australia, a house that size in the UK would be paying close to £1800

I've found something. The new ipod touch. Im getting one as a present for my daughter back in the UK. Its about $100 cheaper here than it its in the UK. Unfortunately I'm going to have to buy it in the UK because whenever I send electronic goods back home they end up getting taxed extortionately.
