whingers and whiners
I don't know if it is because the internet has given them a voice, whether we go out of our way to ask their opinions or whether they are just getting louder, but whingers and whiners seem to dominate our national forums.

Imported too many from the Yookay. Bitter fence jumpers who will never be satisfied, no matter where they live and how much they earn.

Re: whingers and whiners
100% agree.
I've said it before and like an old codger sitting in the corner of the pub, I'll say it again.
People who whinge and moan about the UK, and move to Australia because they don't like the UK are the first to whinge and moan about Australia and the first to get on a plane back to the UK because they don't like Australia.
Whereas people who enjoyed their lives in the UK (and there are lots of us on this forum) and came to Australia because of the positives about Australia, rather than the negatives of the UK, seem to be enjoying our lives here too.

I was happy in the UK and am happy here in general and I still think it's a great country to live in with lots of opportunities. For that reason I'd rather move my family and friends here than go back to the UK but as that's not an option I've chose to stay here and move on enjoying life.

Re: whingers and whiners
Simply bollocks! I love living in Scotland , I was extremely unhappy in Australia. My experiences only.
Is this the thread for the delusional statisticians who can't afford to go back?
Forget the replies about current exchange rates.The OP is a hilariously deluded man and Mr Hutch the angry young man of Australia - a purveyor of 1980 s style petulance.
Australia is like re living the 80's in Britain.

Re: whingers and whiners
I was OK in the UK but have a better life here.
What really gets on my tits is when people say that anyone that loves Australia is a Godzoner, or has rose tints on, yet if we say they have reverse rose tints on for loving the UK they dont like it.
I dont and never have had rose tints on, I prefer where I live now - still get people sickness which is awful but thats the price to pay.
