Re: Removals

Hi,

used Kent from Oz to Uk. Very happy with them. Then Bishop's Move within UK, happy with them too.

Some time ago, a previous poster said don't touch Grace with a bargepole.

Re: What has been your most funniest or best time?

Best experience - so many, difficult to choose one but if I had to I would say a holiday in Mount Kosiosko (wrong spelling but right pronunciation) National Park. I've never been much of a walker but...

Re: Moving back to UK from Australia.

Re: Going with no money

We sold the house before we went but returned to Blighty so I wished we hadn't sold. However, husband is glad we sold, even though it's difficult to step back on to the property ladder.

Re: Cheltenham or Guildford?

I don't know Guilford but live in Cheltenham. Personally I don't like it, all fur coat & no knickers, as far as I'm concerned. No real diversity of people, no real substance. Very attractive regency...

Re: Aussie Libraries

When I was in Oz I was staggered at the cost of books so used the local library a lot, even second hand books were very expensive, IMO.
