Yes , you can't trust the Aussies they are descended from convicts, all a bunch of con men, lying about how great OZ is to trick unsuspecting Poms into immigrating then taking all their money off them.

They can't spell either, you seem to be fitting right in.

I am in the Illawarra, 100k South of Sydney and I will swear blind it rains more here than it did in West Country. Just how much does it have to rain before the drought ends?.

I love telling Aussies those sort of facts.. I have been called a bare faced liar before now for saying that Sydney gets more rain than London.. and its not just a bit more, its a lot more.

So it is a possible alternative but I have the feeling that oh is well over it even though I wasn't the one that wanted to come.
May take you up on short tour! i just read somewhere Perth is rubbish oh well different strokes and all that.

I have always said that if you like pubs/clubs/decent shopping, travel to oldey worldy cities and villages etc etc and have a close family who you see pretty much all the time and a wide circle of friends then emigration is not for you, let alone the country that is furthest away from "home" and as I have said before has as much culture as the greek yoghurt in my fridge. It is beyond me while people put themselves through it.
We don't always see eye to eye but if you come to Perth on holiday and you need a tour guide then feel free to get in touch. Genuine offer.
