Re: NZ Scary story - or what ?

Stick to the facts? Sure. Why have you lumped in my views on NZ education with the views of others entirely unrelated? I'm sorry you have a problem with my posts as I have leapt to conclusions...

Re: Thoughts and advice needed for moving back to UK from NZ

Re: Regrets about moving back??? Help!

Only you can truly make that decision. It is a very personal choice. Thinking clearly about what you are returning to in the UK helps. I truly appreciate what you are saying about friends/family. It...
