Re: Who Else Is Sick Of The Expats?
well you only get out what you put in , i'm not off there to be rich , i'll do my best to get a pool , nice house that fits us .. but i wanna get away from that " my house is bigger than your house " attitude thats seems to be the norm in the UK . maybe its the norm there , i'll see . not fussed if my car is 2yrs old or 10 .
4/5 years ago the exchange rate hit 3AUD to the UK£ ( i think it was bout then ) , so who is jammy ? its par the course , if it feels right & you can afford the rate do it , you can't hang on & hope ... this time next year it may be at 2.5 ,, it may be at 1.5 ..

Then I stopped worrying

OK - yours is worse. 
I had a 25 year old mini once it was fab! Will get another in Oz - cos they don't rust out there.

Good grief, I've had enough of you lot....
blinking jammy sorts, swanning about over there in Perth, or Adelaide, or the bloody Gold Coast in your thongs & t-shirts...
moaning about the heat, or your lawns, or the flies, or the wages...
complaining about the houses being too big...
rubbing our noses in it by promoting your meet-ups on beaches or in parks & telling us how many beers you all drank.... comparing curry houses.... or schools & telling us how great your kids are doing since you've moved over :curse:
Can't you just give it a rest? Spare a thought folks, for all of us stuck here in England - freezing, wet & bored. Bloody broke because we're spending all our money on visa fees & driving around the country in search of a cheap medical. Or in my case, flippin solicitors after every spare penny.
Today, you've even started a thread about whether there's too many meet-ups, or some such garbage :curse:
Don't you know we wanna be there too :curse::curse::curse:
Bloody bar-stewards
