Re: I moved back to uk last may from perth
Ok I'm not in Australia but I'm in Canada and I miss the UK's lovely temperate mild climate. This place is a frozen wasteland in the winter, 1.5 meters of snow this month, temperatures often 25 degrees below zero, No need to wrap up in London or take your life in your hands driving on an ice rink every morning.
I missed the exit in the car park at Heathrow last time I came back and started to reverse back but there were 3 cars behind me, blocking me. Each of them reversing to let me back, I thanked them and got an acknowledgement back. In Canada they would have been honking and scowling, and never would have reversed, I can't believe how polite drivers are in the UK.
TV in the UK is a breath of fresh air, in Canada there are rubbishy adverts evey 5 minutes, sadly when it's 20 degrees below and blowing a blizzard you really are a little limited for other things to do in the evening
And as for second hand cars, in Canada you can drop $8k on a used car and its still a worn out pile of crap, I've seen better cars for 500 quid on Ebay UK

Now I don't know where you are living but I'm making a guess you are in either the UK and want to get out, or happily emigrated somewhere else
In either case why are you posting in a moving back to the UK forum
My guess is either you have nothing better to do or enjoy trying to make people look stupid?

Re: I moved back to uk last may from perth
Sure I knew it snowed in Canada, I really moved here for someone else anyway, certainly not my first choice of destination.
The surprising thing for even a lot of Canadians is just how much snow has fallen so far this year. And yes, it's getting me down as it affects every aspect of life, a lot of that being personal safety when driving or walking

In which case sorry for any offence.

This forum has been invaded recently by losers who've decided to deal with not having any friends by emigrating and then moaning about the UK to make themselves feel better. Must have been really popular people when they were in the UK, I can tell.

This is Chris not his wife, I know her spelling is rubbish, and I have told her to get her own account for posting to the forums.
