Re: It's Official!
To be even more picky on this, I have to mention that, even though the removal companies find that they are shipping to the UK almost as much as they're shipping out.... Are they ALL Brits... Lots of Aussies move the UK every year too. I might also add that although Cricket is going home, her son staying. That means that although the whole of the house is moving the whole of the family is not. So, although the toing and froing may appear to be about to be 80 the actual figure is something quite different!

DIAC figures are based on what you fill in on the departure form when you go through passport control.... So I guess that it's basically accurate, unless peeps make a habit of lying on the immigration form!

I don't think so. Cricket is a happy little bunny with all her options open. She loves England for her work and business opportunities plus all the other good things England offers so yes, Cricket is extremely fond of the UK.
But....because I've been here too long, I have a much loved son getting married to an Aussie girlfriend and setting up home here. He is also the agent for my business in Oz so I have to keep a home and look out for him here too.
Cricket is now not just a happy little bunny but she's also a lucky little bunny who can choose which side of the world she lives on when she feels like it.
I posted the % to encourage all those who feel a bit lost about moving home. I thought it might make them feel better to know that lots of Brits move here but then go home again.
Does that satisfy you now Mr 28 year old number cruncher happy in Oz?

The UK needs people who don't refer to themselves in the 3rd person.You do realise you will probably struggle financially and meet a man who claims to be an aristocrat.
He will take all your money and you will no longer be able to afford that studio apartment in Middlesborough .
I and I'm sure others implore you to stay in Australia.
I can't live without the racist insults you send me privately calling me an Scottish alcoholic and a failure.
Please stay and if you want to return in your dotage you could build a raft ,powered by hot air ,with all the self help books you must own.
Think of yourself as a English heroine sent to civilise the colonial inferiors.

If you're getting horrid PM's you need to send them to Pollyanna and she'll sort it out for you.

Feel free to post your own reliable figures anyone.
Kev, I'm sending you my own personal greetings via PM. I'm sick of all you blokes picking fights with my female brain. It just can't handle it anymore.

One thing.......I don't know if 80% is wrong or correct. It's just a figure that was given to me recently. That's why I said in my earlier post if anyone wants to post what they think are accurate figures, great!
I only posted to give some encouragement to those on the forum who are in such a dilemma about going home.
And the overcrowding thing in the UK............it's ABSOLUTE fact! No argument whatsoever. The UK is so overcrowded because.............
.................................................. .........IT'S SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE!!!!!!!
Right, I went to a party last night. Head hurts like hell so I'm off to bed. night night everyone. Don't talk about me when I've gone.

Re: It's Official!
According to your posts you are someone who can only every see one viewpoint - your own. And you like to twist facts or present gossip as "fact" to support your onw viewpoint.
But because you only ever see your own viewpoint, people enjoy taking the p1$$. It's not an "issue" - just very amusing.

Since I booked my flight, it's like waiting for the gates of heaven to open. I can't take anything or anyone seriously anymore. Not taking the piddle out of you or anything.

That post really makes no sense! You seem to be happy to spend a lot of time here at the moment "debating" - sorry, I re-phrase that - telling is your viewpoint again and again and again and again ..... [where is that YAWN smilie when one needs it]

Re: It's Official!
However, seriously. I'm really not very good with dealing with the tedium moronitis characters so I am unsubscribing from this thread.
I'll leave you to figure out why, if you're so blissfully happy living in Oz as you say, you yourself spend so much time on the MBTTUK forum.
Hugs.

Re: It's Official!
Found the information from the shippers interesting, if you asked removalists here they tell you they take em up to Queensland from Victoria, drop them off and bring others back, guess its the same for the shippers.
I make up my mind to do things and just do it and tell people later, I am bemused at people going back who keep on about it as though they are really not sure,and want reassurance that they are doing the right thing.
Another reason I would just go because if I did not like it and wanted to come back I would not tell anyone either.

As for you "unsubscribing from your thread" ... where have I heard that before? Oh yes, that would be some of the other threads that you've started recently
