Facts : Your visa in not PR for UK Only EU passport holders can freely live and work
in EU unrestricted England is cold wet and grey Australia is hot, sunny has wonderful
landscapes IT market in UK sucks Houses in UK sky high for shoe boxes.

I spent two extended backpacking trip in Aus and each time I returned home I wanted
to go back.

Now being married, my wife and I live in USA shortly to move to Canada for good.
England is the last place I would want to move to, even more so from a place like
Aus. Try it out for six months and you'll feel the same.
