The only way to play that song by the Proclaimers is as loud as you can, you stomp your feet as hard as you can and you sing until you lose your voice.

Brilliant!

I have met loads of people through expats. I would say if nobody has bothered to get in touch with you then it may be more to do with you than them :D

well, I wont say too much, no point, see returning to Uk forum for more detail! I used to scorn people like me, but it was not worth getting ill about, so we came back. I am too English and we love it here! We could not have done more research, visits, lists and plans etc. The reality can be quite a shock and quite a dull one! Lovely place for hols, but not for us for a lifetime. (or even 6 months!), Would recommend keeping a property in Uk if you can. Try it, you wont know til you have. Good luck to all. Sorry bit brief, but bit p*****d! Everyone here was a great help,although a bit too positive! If your heart aches for home then come back!:blink:

Hi,

I really am so jealous, we've only been here 2 months and already I want to go home, trouble is my husband doesn't feel the same and my kids are getting on really well too, and to top the lot i've just found out i'm pregnant so I really want my family and friends around me! :cry_smile:

Fair enough, funnily I find Australia very English, I don't buy into the Idea that the UK and Oz are completely different.
You know there are more English parts of OZ like Tasmania or THe Southern highlands etc.
