hi has anyone used grace removals before ? i got them out last week for our return home to uk , they gave us a very decent quote of $3200 for about half the stuff we actually brought out with us, OSS where cheaper but grace told us because they never actually came out to our flat they would pump up the price after the quote ! SO we went with grace to now discover they are trying to burn us for $4000 - $800 more so im havin a feud with a rude woman at grace right now LOL i thought a quote should be quite near not bloody $800 more ! Does anyone know my rights on this one i feel a bit mad :arghh:

haha thats great mate but u irish are like the plague here ! wish there was more scottish here !:biggrin: no bombs in county kilda plz

hi mate sorry i never got back to u as i only go through phases on this, yes all ok as far as work is concerned nothing permanent but then again i never actually apply for perm jobs. im doing compressed air for a company , easy clean work , no stress and great dollar ! im finding a lot of us pommy plumbers are now doing other stuff similar to plumbing like hydronic (central) heating. ect. as u know its difficult to get in to anything decent plumbingwise for us ! hows the situation in uk ? thats great your busy ! my missus is about to b offered a job in perth but im briking it about moving there as all i hear is theres no jobs ! see how we go ! tbh i still havent settled in melbourne as i still feel like i live in a bit of a rat race! (glasgow wiv palm trees)i never came here for this ! but do prefer the work setup here ! lol mate ill get u a job once i get myself 1 haha

hey thanks mate will take a look

cant take too gayfl :wink:

vetassess is just another aussie ploy to raid your pocket ! im a plumber and had to goto london to sit this stupid test which a monkey could have passed and it meant nothing to the plumbing commission here in victoria ! they only use this exam for immigration purposes and once your here u might as well wipe ur arse with it. i got my plumbing registration by showing them my uk papers and experience ! but you really do have to convince them because as far as aussies r concerened poms are substandard workers lol.. good luck:arghh:

you might as well make the move half of ireland here alredy !!! another 2 wont make any difference :biggrin:

thanks for kwik reply frogian. sounds good so i think ill change au$$ s to £s then !!! cheers

HELLO THERE ! me and my wife are heading back to blighty for a months visit and was wandering if any1 can advise me on wether to exchange aussie dollars to ££s or dont bother and just use money we have already in uk accounts for our spends.. !!!! people say that its good if your going from oz to uk but not so great the other way around!!! any advice here would be appreciated - thanku:xmas21:
