Will my seriously obese and lazy kids turn into sports champs overnight just because we've moved to Australia? And Australian kids have not got x-boxes and playstations, have they, cos they all play sports and never stay indoors ever.

Why is it raining in Australia? I thought the sun shone all the time and everyone went to the beach after work? I went there the other week and there was a sign saying "closed due to weather" I don't want weather here, I thought I'd left all the weather in England ........

That will be because that bloody El Nee Naw fella, some Mexican geezer apparently, asked for rain.... or at least that's what it said on the news.

My kid only gets 20 hours of one on one learning support in the UK and I think this stinks, were want to move to OZ so the kids will have a better education.

Just had to pay 30 quid for a check up, crown and 2 fillings in the UK, its outrageous, looking forward to much better health care in OZ.

Immigrants are bleeding this country dry. How much centerlink will I get in OZ.

My friend wants to know if he leaves his credit card unpaid will they come after me - I mean him.

The same questions come up on the italian threads, but we get added ones like.

I don't speak Italian, so can you please tell me where I can find a job in an English speaking hairdressers?

I want to live near people who can speak English, where is the largest ex pat community? (We normally suggest London at this point)

I have a heart condition and my husband is also ill. Can we still get free medical care when we are in Italy?

I have heard that the taxes are high in Italy. Is it possible to keep my residency status in England when I move to Italy and pay my taxes in England.

I want to live in a small traditional Italian village. Can you please suggest one that has an English Dentist, Doctor, Hairdressers, Vets ....
