Thank you kiwi-child
I meant to add that but got bored and went to bed. My little 'bear' is still scrabbling around up in our loft somewhere
I've never been to Aus or NZ but my Dad bought him for me while he was over there. I think he's covered in real fur too

The conversation went something like this.....Honey would you like to emmigrate to NZ? F off you C not while I have a hole in my A*se! (I coloured it in for effect!)

But in all serious ness i think australia has some great countryside and beaches and i love driving here once out of the cities ,but life in general is boring boring boring .
Living in perth is like living on an island within an island ,and unless one is totally moronic there is no doubt one will go crazy ,just like monkies in a cage .

I refer to Perth as being 'a sandpit on the edge of a desert' LOL I mean it even has sand in place of soil for chrissakes!
I thought you had left perth and gone back to UK, dunno why. Anyways. have a great xmas and new year

why are you so concerned? don't you think it would be a bit odd for people to say they love everything about Oz whilst posting on the 'Moving back to the UK' forum?
