Skani Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 i don't really think you know what you are talking about. Was the comment not related to locally produced fruit and veg? The comment would be relevant in any country in the world. Stop being so defensive. Yes, exactly so, wakey. That's what I meant...and that's what I wrote.

BenMcphee88 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Myself and my girlfriend are looking to move out there when I qualify as a Mental Health Nurse so we read as much as we can on the subject. It seems to me that either they haven't done their homework at all or were exaggerating. Also the 'Juice' reason was actuall laughable. What a joke. Typical of the Daily Mail. I wouldn't even use it as toilet roll.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just look at how many take it seriously on here, it is the Daily Mail so it is 75% fabrication and 25% exaggeration. Australia is expensive, in some ways backward, the economy is clearly slowing down and times are tougher but like any 1st world economy some are going to like it and some arent.

starlight7 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 You live in Melbourne so I wouldnt be saying too much about perfect weather I think Melbourne weather is easily the best in Australia- lovely hot dry Summers and cosy winters in front of the log fires. Can go skiing just up the road in Winter, swimming in Summer every day. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil & Vikki Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Oh dear, you have to read this and think it is a bit mad. it is true that this place is not for everyone, but you would think that it would be best to give it more than two weeks to come to that kind of decision. There are a few things when reading the story that we do think are true: ‘It just wasn’t what we were expecting. You think you’re going to be able to go out there and afford a great quality of life because the wages are all higher, but it’s also really, really expensive. . ‘We missed our families more than we thought we would, and talking to them was difficult because of the time difference.

Sydney Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Presently enjoying a bit of sun with the missus in Lanzarote and haven't seen said cordial anywhere on supermarket shelves. Must be murder for this family when summer hols come around, packing the brown sauce, cordial etc. Aussie is of course expensive and the DM chose not to mention the difference in wages, low uk pound. Never spoil a good yarn with the truth they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensationalism at it's best/worst, you choose. Personally I thought £4,000 for the mutt was reasonable. And yes... Poms do make great wingeing-ers.

Guest Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 You can buy uk products in supermarkets , they tend to have a small section but very expensive. I pay $3.50 for a single bag of monster munch.. But boy do I enjoy them... I even lick the inside of the bag after to make sure I get my money's worth Me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
