ESSEX TO AUS is on a distinguished road
Posative Posts Only Please

Hello all Home comers

Not been on line for a while not set up as I'm back with my Mum and Dad for the mean time.

I ve seen alot of negative posts so I thought I'd add a posative post.

House prices in the UK are falling big time.

The exchange rate is great at the moment. $-£

The Eastern europeans seem to be going back to help there own booming economies.

Boris has kicked red Ken out as Mayor of London

The Tories seem to be getting ready to kick out this alwful Labour govenment.

The UK is not as crap as some have made out. well not around my area anyway.

Not every one hear is down on life.

Today has been lovely. I,ve seen the sun and it's touching on 17 Degrees.

If you are coming back, this I think is a good time to come back. This is still one of the best countrys in the world.
And as it has been said before life is what you make it.
So as Lesley used to say Come on down.



John

COME ON YOU BLUES

Hi John, So good to hear from you and glad to hear your lapping up the British Sunshine and loving it!

House prices falling is a big NEGATIVE for me, although a POSITIVE for you !!

Have you looked into the work situation yet?? HUbbie pricing up a big job today, although not sure what it involved until he gets in.

I have to agree England is a lovely country

Welcome Home

Enjoy !

All of those positives for many, I agree. England is a great place to live.

However, Eastern Europeans are not going back. They are still coming over in their thousands. Taking jobs from hardworking British. Taking taxpayers money. Being given houses.
Not all of them, no. But many.

Thanks Jo All a bit slow at the mo but it will take time to settle in.


Kdal

Like I said to jo it'll take a while to settle in. Work has started to come in but it will take a while. I just seem to be spending like there is no tomorrow, New van, getting it kitted out, Corgi registration. Libility insurance.Ect Ect It does remind you how exspensive it is to be a Plumber. But so be it.

Hope all is well wont be on line much but will try from time to time.


All the best John

John, If you get time come to the Essex meet though!

Not sure how many people they need on this job that Daren is pricing up, but send me your email if you are interested and if he needs more Plumbers perhaps he can call you up!

Good luck Kim

It's a shame that all of the Eastern Europeans seem to be getting tarred with the same brush. My sister met and married a lovely guy from there. He is the most honest and hard working person, and never took any of the tax payers money but did pay into the system, but the powers that be in the UK insisted the marriage was not real and wouldn't allow him to stay. My sister has been living in Moldova with him for 18 months now. They are applying for Australia when we get there.

I dont think its the taxpayers money that is the problem its more the lack of entry level jobs that is an issue.

As Ive said before I work in probationa nd prisons, helping ex offenders get into employment, and the typical guy coming out of prison just wants a basic job, construction labourer warehouse work etc, only they cant get even minimum waged jobs, alot of the job agencys I contact say they only take on Eastern Europeans and some have told me that the companys actually go out to Poland and such countries and recruit there as it is cheaper than recruiting in this country, So think thats more the issue than NHS/benefits etc.

I must say though that I dont come across many Eastern Europeans in probation, they pretty much keep thmselves out of trouble, so thats a plus!!!

Sorry this isnt such a 'positive' post so what can I say thats good about the UK.........

Jaffa cakes.........Im so going to miss them when Im gone :(
