My Aussie girlfriend reads this forum and has got a picture of the UK being like some third world country with people dying on filthy hospital wards and dying literally in the streets as you step over them, she asks what it is like to live in a Country where the sun never shines and it rains for months on end.
Not a Country I left.
Just a thought.

Withour research or a visit everyone conjures up an image in their heads of everywhere.
You mention Australia to most Brits and due to what they hear, read and believe they imagine beautiful beaches yet shark and jellyfish infested seas, millions of massive spiders, deadly snakes and ants running around all over the show, brown outback, koalas and Uluru. Truth is these things are there but millions of people live and survive in Australia without encountering these things on a day to day basis.
Same as the UK. All the things people discuss are there, happening alive and kicking but you can still live your lives there without it entering your bubble.
