Mongrel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 EarlswoodI don`t know which` UK` you know. I don`t know when you last lived here or the kind of standard of life you had. Judging by the photo you posted of where you`d like to live in the UK you`d need a fair amount of cash to live there (by the way the locals are being priced out of those kinds of areas anyway). Yes I am stressed here. As I said it is over-populated, over-crowded and aggressive. Oz doesn`t seem to be any of those things to me. Youll find oz abit overcrowded tae Wa big place everybody in one place maybe somewhere inland Kalgoorlie , Newman ,Tom Price prob suit you . Oz is massive with the poulation nearly all in pockets near the coast Maly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istanbul 11.5 million - 706 sq m Perth 1.5 million - 2000 sq m West Midlands 2.6 million - 348 sq m :eek: btw that`s sqare miles Do you actually live here? Yes, Australia is overcrowded basically because even though there is a huge landmass there is the GAFA out there (Great Australian F*** All) which is basically uninhabitable and the liveable bit is very small and stretched along the coast. The masses flock to the big cities which cannot sustain them. We are seriously strapped for water and our current infrastructure is under huge stress - demographers estimate that Australia can only support about 16m people and we are well over that and have a govt which will continue high levels of immigration. Even though immigration is encouraged into rural and remote communities it doesnt take long for people to realize that opportunities lie in the bigger cities and they move on.

Quoll Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 wait till i get there !!!!!!!!! has it changed that much then in the last 12 months i must have been dreaming then because thats different to what i saw :daydreaming: I guess it all depends on where you were 12 months ago. You could be forgiven for thinking that you were in HongKong (substitute any other Asian city) when you walk in the centre of Sydney and I think the original quote - about Rudd welcoming the Asians is spot on the mark. It is historically what Labor do anyway. At the moment he is welcoming Pacific Islander "grunts" who will do the cheap labour stuff that Aussies and other migrants dont want to do. So, yup, perhaps you were dreaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracy123 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 it's more of a statement from someone with a closed mind on Australia the place is not a backwards country it does things differently if you want the UK stay here don't move but don't call a place backwards because its not the UK.

kernow43 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 You don't need luck. Just work hard, don't expect things to be handed to you, and if your not happy move somewhere else. I have been here 38 years and back to UK 9 times, I could give as many reasons why I think the UK is backward and many more reasons why I would not live there in a pink fit, Australia has been more than good to my family and I call myself an Australian, not a British Australian. So I think it takes a little longer than a year to come to your conclusions! And if you detest it go back! I have many, many pommie friends, all happy and successful. No way would they go back. The happiest ones I have met and spoken to are those who come with very little. At my age I am very thankful I will never see that congested hell hole again.

Mongrel Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 We are i oz on a 457 in the process of upgrading to pr, hope the uk police checks come wingin over here quick cos puttin deposit on a lump of sand. We are enjoyin it luvin in some repects , I don`t call it backwards but esp in the firm I work for the systems have not progressed to the shop floor, wherea in the sales etc it is computerised out on the shopfloor it is rems of paperwork. MY opinion it is the fluidity of the workforce, I think the longest member on the shopfloor is 6 years whereas the place I worked at in the uk put it this way a lot were part of the fix and fittings, whereas training would be given and yiou were expected not to leave, here firms dont expect staff to be long term employees as people are fluid in the system. If peeps emigrate here for a reason to be in Australia and not because of the country where they came from and there perceived problems of it they will get on. There are the same reasons for leaving in oz , grunts (you are one of them) taxes , high prices , crime etc Mally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in fact a normal part of life and millions of people say "If only" every day. In fact a film based on the premise of "if only" exists called "Sliding Doors" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
