Glad you got to experience London and spend time with your mum, sorry for your loss. I do miss London, and especially the high day rates and much lower tax.

UK is pumping. I get several phone calls and emails every week about well paid work all over the UK.

And armed robbery... unless you're bernie maddoff

Do people who live in the larger cities like Sydney and Melbourne also get bored eventually and want to get out?

So asking around over the past 6 months or so, you can transfer as much as you like with no questions asked. Obviously country of origin must not be on a sanctioned list.

What were you saying about English?

Good work. See how much you love it come October, six months of feral weather :biggrin:

Look for where the Crossrail pops up. Will be an easier commute into the big smoke.

Do it yourself and save a fortune. Agents never know what they're doing.

Gumtree

:biggrin:

^ this pretty much sums up why we're leaving London. And London is too crowded. Upgrading to fresh air, fine scenery, open spaces.

Nice work Steve, do what makes YOU happy. If family and friends try to talk you out of it it really is very selfish of them. They can always come stay with you for long periods of time. It's not about how often you see people but more about the quality of time spent together. As for the horse, have you tried Tesco? They offer good horse spot prices.

Bring your British etiquette with you and you'll be fine. Also any pics of your wife? I like the sound of Peruvian-American

Love the shift of that jetstream. Loved having no snow this year!

Absolutely. Moving to Oz after London would then be an upgrade.

I'd use UK Forex or Hargreaves Lansdown. High St banks give you a crap rate.

Still cold as hell. Got my central heating on

Depends how old you are and what you do. If you want to have a lot of fun and piss a lot of dough up against the wall then the UK is great for that. Oz great for outdoorsy stuff and high quality living. You can find yourself out of work in even the most buoyant of economies if you don't have the right skills and experience.

I love the fact you aren't forced to sit inside with the central heating on in Oz!

Everyone knows that only factor 50 works in Oz :biggrin:

So basically you can't get rid of him that easily :laugh:

They actually got rid of everything in the UK first. Flights, rent, new furniture & appliances, doing SFA for a month while looking for work, car, flights back, etc etc. Adds up...

Sorry to hear about your loss. Don't worry about the age gap, most girls are far more mature than us guys :biggrin: She sounds like a keeper. Hope it all works out in your favour.

at least bogans are friendly and non-intimidating... unlike chavs, pikeys, travellers and Euro trash...
