ali Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Firstly, welcome to PIO, I see this is your first post. I think if all those things are becoming very significant for you and making you unhappy then you're probably doing the right thing in heading back to the UK, Good luck in the next part of your adventure and I hope find the contentment you're seeking.

Those highlighted in red can also be found in the UK they are not unique to Australia, I could list another 101 faults that the UK has but can't be arsed.............................enjoy your trip back. Hopefully you'll come back on once back in the UK and give some practical advice to those returning (or you could just whinge and whine quite a few do that as well) :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tea4too Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 A lot has changed in the UK during the years you have been away JB and as someone else rightly pointed out, many of the things listed in your OP could as easily be applied to today’s Britain. But if you haven’t settled in Aus in the last 6 years, for whatever reason, maybe it is time to find out whether you would be happier back in the UK. Swopping one first world country for another is not a really big deal in some ways, it just means that you have reached a stage in life where your priorities have shifted little. You may settle back in the UK really quickly, or ping pong – either way, how will you know until you try? Personally though, I would maybe try to balance the positives and negatives from your time in Aus, as there may be a time when you will need to do something similar back in the UK. Finding where you belong can be tricky, but you know you are in the right place when it feels like ‘home’ despite all the irritating stuff. All the best Tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tea4too Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) in 6 years......:biglaugh: I think there have been a lot of changes in the UK since 2008 – the bank crisis, a coalition government, austerity measures, major welfare reforms, huge increase in food banks, higher profile of political parties like UKIP, record low interest rates, riots, a hugely successful Olympic games, announced Scottish referendum………..lots of stuff, both positive, and negative. It may or may not affect everyone directly on an individual or daily basis, but it definitely impacts on the identity of the country. I’m not knocking the UK PB, I am happy to live here, but that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the changing world around me. Chances are that someone who has lived away for 6 years or more will notice a few changes too.

Tx 6 years is nothing, the UK has not changed in 6 years...no worse no better, all the things you mentioned have hardly any effect on the individual, things like that happen all the time.
