You don’t know much about uk policing , many town police stations closed with no offices on the beat.

Lived in wales when Sunday was Dry !

Doubtful it will be any time soon

Unfortunately when it comes to construction licences uk qualifications don’t count. in nsw they are supplied by service nsw https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-qualified-supervisor-certificate Also construction here is very different to uk. He would need to do a course through Taffe in order to get required documentation.

Change the record you were on about this the last time you were posting, there are far worse countries in the world than Australia to live . No restrictions now stoping you from leaving.

A reminder what this thread is about , well off topic now

Maybe you need to start a new thread as said off topic .

I tend to agree , no doubt some parts in Australia are bad but not as BF was portraying. Going off topic now from original question.

I think it’s more to do with the area you currently live in unfortunately, I have witnessed and had dealings with far worse in uk and standby my comments it’s a western world problem.

Drugs are a problem throughout the western world, not sure why you would state this to someone trying to make a decision on moving here or is this in regard to the area you live . I would do a pros and cons list for both countries and be honest in my answers.

You know that for sure ? Good mate of mine had 2 uk passports a work one and a holiday one

One reason I asked was I wasn’t sure if they had details of me having duel passports and didn’t want any problems, who knows what actual information they have on their systems about you.

As I stated I told the young lady we were duel citizens and had both uk and Australian passports and asked what was protocol I have said this in a previous reply to your question???

There are far worse places in the world than Cessnock.

I see uk are doing away with pre tests before entering down to costs and effect on dropping numbers of travelling £60 million per week

Can see where you are coming from in regards to London - Cessnock they are poles apart. we moved up this way from sydney and it took some time to adjust. sometimes you have to do what’s best for your own mental being. wishing you all the best for your future

I suppose I was doing correct thing asking what the protocol was if you had both passports and dual citizenship, only posting what I was told.

Only repeating what I was told by immigration officer upon arrival into uk. if you know better go for it I will stick to what I was told.

Didn’t piss anybody off ??? just went to non uk passport control and asked which we should use and the lovely lady explained as above and straight through otherwise a 30 min wait in the uk que

We were same , acted a bit daft jumped the uk que and were told following: by law we were told if you have uk passport you must enter / leave uk on that and same for entry / leave in Australia.

As I said all the best in your choices

We stop in Chester when we travel back , had many a night out there and the races are great. I am from just over boarder in wales originally, one size does not fit all , don’t get the anti for one country over the other. very lucky to have a choice to live in either.

Your currently living 12000 miles away but a 2hr train ride would be too far , priorities mate live your life. life is too short imho. Hate to think of cost of property in 26 when you plan to move over permanently. All the best in your choices.

Thought they were pleading poverty after being cut off from the family funds

Don’t tell everyone or it will become like the rest life is good up here one of the reasons why we moved out of sydney our biggest problem is dodging the Roo’s can watch them for hours
