Re: worst thing we have ever done!

What a stupid, pointless thread ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Re: worst thing we have ever done!

I think that the problem arises because many people fail to research a place properly and are taken in by the excitement of it all.

You have to remember that Auckland is a city of over a million...

Re: Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

My original quote was meant to read:

Around 80% of Brits STAY in NZ.

The other 20% who have left make up this forum. :rolleyes: ;)

Re: Things you miss about the UK?

Agreed. You can't beat the picturesque little villages in the UK IMO.

Things you miss about the UK?

I reckon these'd be mine:

1) Football. :(
2) The salaries (NZ national average is a lot lower).
3) The history of the UK.
4) Where I've grown up - for better or worse, it becomes part of your...

Re: Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

I'll be more specific then: some, although not all, of these stupid laws are not written/influenced by the government.

Re: Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

Why' am I repeating myself by mentioning Gordon Brown and Tony Blair separately? I think you'll find that the government, judicial laws (i.e. made largely independent of government) and political...

Re: Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

Statistically, around 80% of Brits return to the UK from NZ.

I reckon the other 20% are on this forum. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

No. A thread was started on why people leave NZ. I, therefore, wanted to start a thread on why many Brits are not happy in the UK. Seems fair to me.

Actually, my post was partly in response to all the negative old farts that seem to be posting on this forum. My point is that NZ may not be perfect, but neither is the UK at...

Re: Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

Before everyone accuses me of hating the UK, I don't. It has some good points. I just thought that since there was a discussion on why people leave NZ, it would be interesting to discuss why so many...

Why do so many people want to emmigrate from the UK?

Recent polls have suggested that over half of the British population would like to move abroad.

IMO probably due to the following:

1) Parents in the UK are so wrapped up in materialism and...

No. I commute to uni. It's a bloody long way but it seems stupid to get into debt when I only have to be there about 75 days a year. Personally, I'd rather feel knackered through doing lots of...

I'm definitely going to give it a go, but from reading this forum, and many others, I now realise that I will be in a much better position when I've got some capital to take with me.

Re: Quantify please "The different way of life"

I agree, but I think it is coming from both sides - there are just as many negative posters out there, if not more, who rubbish positive posts and are very impolite. Why can't everyone just be...

The things you mention are problems that all Western nations face. How many people in the UK do you see walk to the shops, or walk their kids to school?

Re: How many people are happy with moving to NZ

Why not just factor it into the cost of buying a house?

Seems simple enough.

Re: How many people are happy with moving to NZ

If heating/insulation in Nz houses is such a problem, surely the solution is simply to buy a decent heating system when you buy a new house. ;)
