I'm not defensive ( or nasty ), none of my comments have been, I just understood what the thread was about mate. Anyone can post smart alec comments on any thread, its very easy to do with any post - the trick is to have the self control not to. The post is just letting people see other posters photos thats all - its not a debate on how good or bad the UK is, nobody is saying or has said that anywhere on this thread. ;)

This is looking in the other direction towards Bath Rugby ground through the trees on the left....a very pleasant route to watch a great game of rugby :)

I presume you know that there are some right dumps in the wonderful world of Oz as well as in the UK?

God forbid your wife if she gets homesick again as I can't see you being off any support to her. Get back to the business of emigrating mate and p!ss off out of this forum. People here don't need you taking digs at them. Than god the others here offer great support to homesick people.

everyone is well aware of the good bits and bad bits of every country inc England. It is clear that this thread is not a debate about those points , just a bit of light relief for people so why drag it down to such.

Let it go mate....... and pick another thread.
