that's your choice not having a holiday, in the US, you don't have the option.

I know a tree surgeon here, he is a long-time friend of my neighbour's, a lovely man who works like a dog. He says he is the last white guy in the business in LA, that's just a simple fact to bear in mind.

Re: Hi I am new here.
Erm, the only time I ever recall off was 4 weeks when I was unemployed and looking for a Job. That's it, seriously, and hardly what you'd call time off.
So why would anyone assume I would take issue with immigration to the uk then?
That's the only point I was making there.

At the moment it is unlikely you will qualify for entry into the US. The only way I could see is if your girlfriend retrained as a nurse in something like A&E and then got some experience and then you married her. Maybe then.
Also, I can't see from your objections to the UK why the US would make your life any better. They generally work harder and longer hours, have less annual leave and no universal healthcare system. Also, if yo uthink the UK is politically oppressive you're going to love post-Patriot Act USA. Worse than that they don't like Marmite much and they don't have a problem with brown and/or checkered suits*.
But all is not lost. Australia and NZ offer great weather, twice as much annual leave as the US, and crucially (from your perspective) you stand a chance of getting into one of them (and if you get into one then you get into the other - smashing, eh?). Check out the Australian Government website here http://www.immi.gov.au/ and check for eligibility.
And best of luck!
If this life of 300 days of sunshine a year doesn't appeal to you, you could wait a couple of years and try the all new American points system, but I is reckonin' that ain't gonna be a pushover, and will probably award most points for job offers and US family. So if you wait for this you might be waiting for a long time only to get Nul Points.

Remember, the O.P. is an Arborist, what will he do for work down under once he trims the tree?
