I know it is natural for folk who are moving to Australia to jump on every bit of bad news that comes out in the UK in the media and on the news to justify and probably more importantly convince their partners that it is the correct move…when ever a bad piece of news come out it is only natural for people moving to another Country for them to say “That’s why we are moving” the more bad news that comes out in the UK the more justified some people feel about the move.
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.

Yeah I agree Earlswood. You have to take the rough with the smooth wherever you live.
We live near Nottingham...I love the city for shopping...cafes and a night out...but gun crime and knife crime are a MAJOR concern in this area...I think Nottingham was ranked one of the worst places to live in the UK...but it depends which part you are in I suppose

' what it is like to live in a Country where the sun never shines and it rains for months on end'
Very depresssing is the answer but in some years that is the weather in the UK for months on end.
I think you'll find that people are leaving to go to Oz because they believe it is a better country to live. Leaving the UK is not a decision you make based upon a series of snap media headlines but over years of personal experience.
Thousands of Brits are migrating each year away from the UK all over the world, it's not a coincidence that it's at it's highest rate in decades. Things have got a lot worse in the UK. Whether people will find a better life in their new country is another matter.

Yup there is a strange yellow object up in the sky here is South Glos and I have put the washing out!!!! Still in state of shock. Thinking about putting my bikini on as I have a day off work!
England is a lovely country and we don't realise how lucky we are, and as you say the grass is not always greener sometimes its browner! But I just want to try something different. There are no knife crimes, gun crimes etc. where I live and it is safe to walk around even at night.There are area's that I obviously wouldnt the same as everywhere.
I would like to move somewhere safe and nice if possible and if I don't like it I may come back or I may go somewhere else, the world is a big place.
Please tell your girlfriend to come for a visit, we have loads of Aussies in Bristol. They seem to like it.

We didn`t move to Oz because of bad weather, or hating UK, I love the UK, I think it has so much to offer and it has been good to me but I don`t miss it, it was time to move on. We made the move because I wanted to move on with my life & try something different, emmigration will either make you appreciate what you had or the opportunities you may have - it`s up to you to make the most of either one.

Seriously though, I have a better reason for wanting to go to Australia my daughter lives there. At the moment we could not be further apart if we tried. Unless she becomes an astranought!
