Hi the Winsors
Hope these few lines will help to re-assure you.We live in essex/london borders and have applied for visa's etc if we are accepted we will go to australia sometime this year to have a look at schools/houses etc to get a feel of the place.
We will be bringing with us our 13 year old son & hopefully our 20year old daughter(we will try to sell it to her when we come for holiday).We also have 2 older daughters both with new born babies, yeah that is the killer to leave the grandchildren(its usually the other way round lol).
Ok this is the way i see it,i am a london cab driver and i am working harder now than ever before,i have been working 12/14 hours a day in the london traffic dealing with ignorant selfish drivers,drunken louts,people who want to fight me and scum who throw bottles at the cab and kick the cab,and i put up with all this just to survive and pay my contributions to this country.I just think that as a strait person in this country you are penalised,i had 2 council guys rummaging through my rubbish the other day who warned me "if i dont re-cycle more i will be fined",they are gathering an army of inspectors who will come round our houses and individually asses us for council tax,so if you have a nice home in a nice area with maybe an extention and well kept garden you will pay the price,so tell me what is the insentive to make a nice home for your family and to bring your kids up as decent members of society,you would be better off on the 10th floor of a council tower block and signing on (no disrespect to the people who do,thats where we started).
As for the kids,well our 2 older daughters are established here and their husbands have good jobs,but we hope they will come to love australia when they visit and fully supportive of our plans,and our dream is that we will all end up there.Our20 year old is getting nowhere in a nowhere job so life can only be better for her with better prospects and the chance of maybe getting her own place ,something that would not happen here.Our 13 year old son is of the age now where he wants to hang out and be cool like his mates,we have so far been lucky as he goes karate 3 times a week,football and other activities take up his time.But what about when he starts wanting to go to pubs and clubs etc,i am terrified to think what it is going to be like her in a few years time,ever-increasing violance,stabbings,guns,and the people who are coming here with little or no respect for life and our way of life.
I have come to hate this country,the country i have lived all my life and for which my father fought for in the war,i hate the way this goverment have destroyed this country,and make no mistake it dosnt matter now who runs the country ,the scene is set.
I guess what i am trying to say is yeah go to australia and live your life for you and your kids ok there are snakes and sharks and things that can make your life hell but at least they are not running the country.
Any way thats my story mr&mrs Windsor i can only add that if you dont try it how the hell will you know,i dont want to be sitting on the rank at waterloo stn when i am a skinny old man thinking i wish i had moved to australia.
All i can say is good luck to you and your family whatever you decide to do.....Jamie :D :D :D :D :D
