Question How long does Citizenship process take?

Hi everyone,

This is probably a 'how long is a piece of string' question but any rough ideas on how long it takes to get Citizenship granted? We are in Sydney, on a PR visa (came here originally...

Re: For all those who miss British sweeties

Also, another shop I'm liking is "Sugar Fix" - there's one underneath the Sydney City "Myer" (down in the food court) as well as one up at Warringah Mall. I think they have an online shop too.

Re: blu rays uk/oz?

According to my hubby - UK blurays will play on an Australian machine and vice versa.

There are only 3 regions for blurays and the UK & Australia are in the same one.

Don't forget you also need to factor in TV licence - isn't it about £12 per month now?

Our phone here in Australia costs $29.95 per month line rental plus call costs (rarely goes over $45-$50 per...

Re: ATM/EFTPOS in Aus

If you were using a UK-issued chip&pin card, then no, you wouldn't have been prompted to do chip&pin - from my experience, you have to sign if you're using a card from overseas (and when I was back...

Re: Can I take a cab anywhere anytime by a call from my mobile phone? or not?

I've never heard of having to "notify" a cab firm of your intent to use them!

You may find, too, that there are cabs sitting outside the station anyway. Just hop in one of them and you're sorted.
