Re: Getting married in UK

This is the issue - the rules require you to be in the country at least 30+ days which is just ludicrous given we are both British citizens. And other research shows it does not seem feasible to get...

Re: Anyone know anything about washing machines?

Hang on....

So you have what you believe to be a fully working washing machine, that has a cut cable and there's all this talk of dumping it. I'm guessing many have more money than I do then?

Re: Tv sets in Australia

Bottom line - listen to opinion or listen to facts.

Your TV's will work over here or can be made to.

It will cost less to make them work than it will to sell and buy new ones.

That simple....

Re: Tv sets in Australia

Just to combine a few of the comments above.

If your TV has HDMI etc, that is no indication that it will work. A plasma and LCD TV will work in Aus or can be made to. Simple. You may have to...

Re: £100k Buying a car, ship it to Oz, sell it for Oz dollars?

Re: need car insurance- in oz

Well, we were. If by 'crap', one sheet of A4 is going to add hassle to a move, then fair enough.

However, I doubt it! So maybe better to bring it for security rather than leave it, be asked...

Re: Do people actually like soccer in Australia?

So maybe hockey should be called 'stick' because the only way to score is using the stick?;)

I've always thought AFL came about because they had a load of cricket pitches lying empty, so wondered...

Re: £100k Buying a car, ship it to Oz, sell it for Oz dollars?

HhHmmm me suspects your ignorance of ADR etc is demonstrated all too clearly here. No-one said it was worth the same.

Re: £100k Buying a car, ship it to Oz, sell it for Oz dollars?

Agree - I never said otherwise. However, the discussion is about whether you can make money by bringing in a personal import and then selling it. The answer is yes, as many people have done. They...

Weebie, sorry but as others have said much of what you spout is nonsense.

The whole issue of ADR (Australian Design Rules) does have an impact, but there's also a difference between a personal...

Ah - makes sense. It should be fine but he';ll have to do it and if there is a cost, it will depend on his insurance company as all are different.
