You feeling a bit crook my Lord? Normally you have a better topic idea!
I think given my current status that Oz knocks the spots off the UK.
UK would be OK, for a few months in spring (outside the wet season
) if I could land a large rural property somewhere not too developed a few hours from London and the means to afford it.

Its simple... all you have to do is pick the right six numbers in the lottery... how hard can that be.

forthe first 10 or 12 years I too would have said Australia.
Now, after 20 years here. UK without a doubt.

If I had no children and pots of money, I'd be living in the city, close to theatres, orchestra's, art galleries, restaurants, clubs etc
As I haven't got stacks of money and my pots are very small and three children, I live out in the sticks where I can do the same things without spending so much.
It's not about which country i'd live in... that's just co-incidental. Money - any city, either country. Children, no money, countryside... either country.
The country doesn't define my life. I do that.

I haven't managed it yet! I see where IPom is coming from, but Australia has a certain aspect about it that I don't see in many other candidates so for me it is country specific.

If I look at the things that bought us here, such as family, then there'd be no question of what was better for us all.
