Ok, we have different ideas of Irony and perhaps humor but i think we'd get along

Ahh, there you go. Ruining a perfectly acceptable discussion in Aus around the table with logic ;-)

I didn't know that. What a shame, it was a perfectly good seat that i trusted with my own child's life up until the day he simply grew too big for it

We are about to move back to the UK with a 6yo who was born here. I'm assuming it's the same in the UK but there are loads of places over here that hire out the baby capsules that you need for a 0-8 month old as nobody buys them. When you get here, there are lots of places that make a fortune selling all the infant car seats. There are several specialist places but stores like Kmart and Target are everywhere and are selling 2/3rds of the same brands for a lot less. You might not like the idea but it would be worth considering ebay or Gumtree when you are looking for a baby seat. Once my son grew out of the infant seat my wife had researched and decided on (that cost us AU$350), i could not give it away. Nobody wants a 2nd hand baby seat. It was in perfect condition, no stains, marks or issues. We ended up giving it to a charity shop as we just could not sell it for any money. Just my 2c worth

Hi guys OK, so i have recieved several PMs asking for more info and what prices we are getting. In an effort to pay it forward, what i will be doing over the next 3 weeks is creating a post that is the sort of post i wish i could have found at the start of this process. I'm conscious that i don't want to get anyone in trouble or end up with a take down notice if i offend somebody, so i'll be looking for constructive advice as i progress. I'll come back and edit this post with a link once it's up

Hi guys Lots of my UK friends are always amazed at how expensive property is in Australia, especially within 30 kins drive of a city centre or mining towns. The website below is a great resource for finding deals in oz and they have just posted a great guide to why the property prices here are so high. No surprise to Australian is that the major reason is tax, but well worth a read. http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2014/09/why-house-prices-are-so-high-in-australia-infographic/

Hi All I'm new here so i apologies in advance if i'm doing something wrong. I was 16 when my family emigrated in the late 80's from North London to Sydney, which led to me living all over Australia and Asia for the last 20 years. Married now with 1 6yo son with ailing parents so we are heading back to the UK for a few years to do this on our terms rather than get the dreaded cal in the middle of the night. My question is regarding shipping. We know what we will take and what we will leave, but so far all 5 shipping quotes for 20m3 have come in within 10% of each other. What seems to really add up is the insurance. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on my options here?
