Midland Spark finally had enough!
Well it had to happen, I've finally and reluctantly admitted that there is no longer anything keeping us here and our best prospects as a family lie in NZ. The political situation here has descended beyond farce particularly over the last 2 months and is hell bent on resolution into some sort of quasi-totalitarian model that's been concocted in the bowels of that devil's kitchen we call the House of Commons.
Well that's it, no more of this nonesense will be tolerated in the Carter household and I am not going to hand the dilema to the laddo as his inheritance as most seem only to happy to do.
Have started the research, the totting up of expenses, the interminable catch 22 of trying to find references from employers from 20+ years ago???
Are they serious?
Right then Carter, you'd better get yer head down, your @rse up and crack on with it sunshine 'cause it won't happen by magic!
Already picked up lots of really useful snippets of information and hope to be able to reciprocate with my own contributions.
Great forum peeps,
much obliged

Re: Midland Spark finally had enough!
Ah thanks for the welcome folks. 
It's in the blood K&S, actually you've raised a point I've filed away. I've heard a lot about this fabled "Kiwi Can-do attitude" and it was one of the elements that positively attracted me. So is it for real and how is it expressed in everyday terms?
I'm constntly dismayed by the current all pervading UK mentality of "oh it's somebody else's prob mate" or "...you'll have to get someone in to sort it out" and the now classic "...somebody really ought to do something about that" etc etc...
