Re: Settled or Unsettled
Four soft southerners, one male, three female (poor guy:D) All settled from day one except first born but it didn't take her long to get into the groove.

If they had to draw up a list of potential emigrants then we would have been very close to the bottom. Yet I feel we have settled from the start. It's not always been easy but at no time have we felt unsettled in Aus. Didn't come expecting anything so didn't get disappointed. As long as I don't have to sit up I reckon we're here to stay. ;) |

Re: Settled or Unsettled
We're from the South...SE London/Kent then Cornwall for last 5 years. We are both settled...but only been here 7 weeks so still might have 'holiday heads' on!:confused:
Oh and we have 4 children...they all seem settled, made friends easily at school and enjoying thier new surroundings so far. |

Good on ya Wendy.
And I always thought it was always the northerners missing their Mams that struggled. :pNorthern blokes like to think they're hard but they do seem to be controlled by their Mams, what's for tea, and they do talk like their nuts are a tad constricted. Not all Southerners are shandy drinking softies mate.:p I've met Londoners that have scared me, but noone North of Watford. They're too nice. My OH doesn't miss his Mum. :p

Mate I have to be honest. I've met some hard men in my time, but I've never been scared of a man from the North. It's the voice. I knew well 'ard blokes in the forces who once they had a drink in them sounded just like old women. They gave an order and it just didn't carry.....

I miss my Mum :( I don't think I'd be here if she were still alive, but then maybe I would :unsure: My OH doesn't miss his Mum. :p Well I've been out with quite a few Northern Lads (obviously cos I lived there :D) and I've been out with 2 from the South and the Southerners are definitely more 'soft', for want of a better word, but in a good way from a womans point of view.;) It's funny Wendys impression is that southerners find it harder - I had thought the opposite when reading some of the stuff on here about not being able to afford living in Oz and better standards of living in UK etc. I assumed it was coz they had nice houses for less money up north. I couldn't afford to move back to the south of England now even if I wanted to. There you go - don't make assumptions eh? Maybe we should do a survey "Are you settled? Where are you from - north or south?" |
