The poll is flawed because not enough people took part to make the results viable.

Other variable's exist, perhaps if the OP had asked " Bearing in mind the difference in salary between the two countries , will the buying power of a Aus salary give me a lifestyle that is the same as the one I currently enjoy in the UK or will it be cheaper to achieve or more expensive"
Aussie Knockers that's classic ! I love knockers..

The rest of your post was the usual ACD drivel (boringgggggg)

There is a right plonker on another forum who has never lived in Australia who constantly gives out information on what it is like and how cheap it is to live there based on a few weeks holiday and what his friends tell him. The thing is you HAVE to have lived in a country to give an informed opinion on long term issues.

Yes, unfortunately another who makes the incorrect assumption that everyone in Australia earns more than everyone here.

That would be interesting to know, More than took took a vote in the poll no doubt.

Shame a slow night in the office doesn't give you the chance

25 I say again 25 I repeat 25.
