I thought WDU was great today. She was desperate to go and he would be leaving a fab Job with fab money. Its very hard as i know money isnt everything but you carnt get by without it, as I somtimes panic thinking will OH get a job as good as he has got now??

I wonder if the government have paid the BBC to help reduce the number of people leaving the country?

Thought i may aswell add my comments!

I live in Cairns and was on the show last week that Adam and Ruth were on. I work as an electrician and adam is a sparky in the uk. My boss signed up for adam to be filmed with us. Firstly i would like to point out me and my work mate made a big point when they filmed us about how hard it is for tradsmen to get there licences when they get here. That is all we went on about and all they did was cut it out and show my backside 3 times when i was working up the ladder

and the only other thing they showed was the bit when my mate said we'r home by 3:15 and in the pool having a beer? wish that was true! They only show what they want joe public to here, not the dark side of coming to oz.
All i can say is sorry guys but we did try!
I will say Ruth and Adam are moving here and Adam has a job to come to when he arrives with my boss.

I think you could be right ! We cannot wait to go. Heading to your city (large town really ?!) in September hopefully. Have to sell the house and secure a job down underfirst but definately heading to Perth whatever obstacles get in the way.

The latest Wanted Down Under series has been annoying as at least one of the couple or the irritating teenager in tow has clearly not wanted to go from the outset. I am amazed how they lookat the Oz houses and moan about the size of the pool or the second bedroom is too small, etc when the couple currently live in a cramped three bed semi in Crawley, Luton or some other over populated and congested place in the UK !

One of the couples on the last series emigrated to Perth in May of last year I am told and are having a great time. we are looking forward to next Xmas in the sunshine.

You seem to be having a great time.

Regards

Spike

as calngary said they edit it for theyre own reasons, thats the BBC for you! i was on life of grime a couple of years ago (im was an environmenmtal officer at the time) and it was the exact same they totally edited it aswell which made situations different to what they actually were! who cares anyhow we all want to go anyway , tho it would be nice to actually see spmeone with some get up and go and enthusiam!!
