I thought they ran on sex/beer/footy/sleep - emmisions of highly toxic gasses are the down side of course...

Re: Will my husband work in Oz?
[QUOTE=sasbear]I have read many things on this site and have been led to believe that once you transfer certain items across to Australia they lose their value or don't work.
I am thinking of leaving my TV and and also my telephones but wasn't sure of what to do with my husband.
He always worked well in the UK - 55 hours plus a week and always managed to function well in other duties at home. However I have heard on this site that husbands don't travel well down under.
Stories have reached my ears that 'they often become lazy and lethargic' not wanting to contribute so much towards the household chores. they appear to be more outside orientated. Fishing becomes a priority for them. Beer too.
Please can anyone tell me if this is accurate? And if so - would i be wise to leave my husband behind when i make the move a and get an Australian version when I arrive?

Hadn't considered the possibility that my OH might not be compatable, then again not sure he's ever really worked properly!

The usual remedy is a years subscription to Foxtel sports, and an imported palatte of your husbands favourite tipple from the UK.
Just remember these need to be renewed yearly, and your husband will still require regular servicing.

My suggestion is to keep the old model and hire a new one in whenever he is not performing properly. Oh and make him pay for the substitute
