Re: A good post

Here we go again, "NZ is better then the whole of the UK because we can leave wine in the garden"!

Strange what perceptions we have.

Re: Do we stay... Sell up in the UK

If you take too low an offer on your house in the UK, then buy a house in NZ while prices there are still decreasing then you've lost out twice over. Unless you can get a substantial chunk off the...

Re: Do we stay... Sell up in the UK

Most fixed term penalties decrease over time. If you're in the last year of the fixed rate most penalties will be in the 1% of existing debt region. So you've either got 500K owing, you signed up...

I see your pastime is motorcycle touring. This will be your wind powered motorcycle made from bamboo and straw? Running on roads made of wattle and daub?

I can't answer that as it would probably kick off a whole new 'Are sense of humours cheaper in NZ or UK?' type thread! :)

Can I just add that if you ever do leave then please don't go to NZ as there's still a chance I may end up there and I'd hate to know you're my neighbour

Why would you fly to Europe from Heathrow?

Flew to Brittany from East Mids 3 weeks ago. Checked in online (which actually means you don't need to check in, go figure). But even so, as I had...

Re: Thinking of England: A confession

2 hour check in to go to Europe? Not on any flight I've ever taken! Aren't security checks in between check in and flying (i.e. they add no time). What's it take to get from Nottingham to East...

Re: BBC Article

"Company". You make it sound as if they get their money as all other media companies do. If it wasn't for the unfair TV tax and if they had to act as a proper company, they'd sink without a trace.

Re: Unemployment on the rise again.

More UK vs Oz nonsense. People in the UK go on holiday in July/August. This is when they spend money, I predict a similar headline around Xmas! It's not hard to work out unless you're a simpleton.
