Great Britain isnt a country .......but we wont labour that one .

Where did i say ,it was the " best country in the world"

 

True.

But in the olympics the team is GB.

When you drive in Europe it's a GB sticker on the car.

I was using it because it has the word GREAT in it!!

 

But it's the best country in the world for you now, no?

OR.........

 

Don't worry if you're stuck in traffic on the overcrowded motorways.......you're only ever 2 minutes from a gorgeous picture postcard village.

 

Don't worry about chavs.......you'll obviously be living in a 'nice' area and you'll never see any.

 

Your children will be going to a 'good' school...........our education is the best in the world, and chav kids never go to school anyway.

 

You're always only an hour away from Europe.......is practically free to get to and you'll have loads more holiday time to go there because we work less here.

 

You'll have tons more 'choice' for shopping........every high street and town/city centre is full of independent shops.

 

The weather is absolutely fine.........Brits just like to moan about it for the sake of it.

 

It's never damp in UK.....only frosty and crisp.

 

British culture is fantastic......most people visit museums and art galleries or study history.

 

You won't need to go to any specialist shops.....Tesco deliver sausages....which are obviously excellent quality.

 

What a fun game!!:idea:

 

I don't think you quite understand the rules but feel free to carry on if you like..:wink:

Sorry , you cant just throw a statement like that into a thread , and expect me to except it - WHERE , DID I SAY THAT BRITAIN ( sic ) , IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Its not the best country in the world , i havent been to every country .

But i have lived in Oz for 6 years - and loved it , have you?

So iam in a position to give an unbiased opinion, the good and the bad .

Loads of fundamentals go into the decision of what suits.

IS IT THE BIG HOUSE WITH THE SWIMMING POOL or MY MOM AND DAD ,THAT COM ES FIRST - FAMILY EVERY SINGLE TIME (yes it came down to that with me , i made the right choice , for me )

All these these threads about the weather are absolute ****E .

Do i love the sunshine .....yes i do

Do i love wind , rain , grey skys and traffic ....no i dont

Do i love 20 -30c - yes i do

Do i love 40c for 6 months of the year - NO I F,CKIN DONT, ITS NOT HEALTHY !

I love both countries, and both countries have been very good to me. in fact i achieved more in oz in 6 years ,than i have in the uk in 15.

Is Oz better for my children .....overall ....i dont think so

Do i like Aussies .....yes i do .....but they talk ****e and make excuses when they lose.

but they are still my mates.

Is England a great country .....too right it is .......it just needs some tough love, but thats for another thread !

Whether its the greatest country , i dont know ......but its MY COUNTRY ,as much as i loved Oz , iam ENGLISH .....end of

Young Bunbury...why do you say the UK is better for your children - there's so many people who would return to the UK but stay in Oz 'for the kids';.....do tell. We think there's a lot of opportunities in the UK but have been shocked by the amounts of regular boozing and smoking by (underage) teens, not to mention the violence and mouthiness.

I think for young children , Australia is a fantastic place to be born and brought up.....but for teenagers looking to spread their wings iam not so sure .

I know of many kids , born and brought up in Oz , to British and Irish parents.

These children are now,young men and women ,living back in the land of their mothers and fathers......because they perceive it to be where the action is.....

 

The other point is the one of your situation in the UK.

Cross a border from one area ,or one suburb or one council to another and the changes and opportunities change dramatically for that family and child.

Move out of a Birmingham area ,,,,,,to lets say Worcestershire.....and the scene changes.

SCHOOLING...HEALTH CARE,,,,,WELFARE.....HOUSE INSURANCE,,,,,

That child may all of a sudden have facilities and education that wasnt available to them,in their previous postcode,

(ooo - hit nerve??) lol

What I said was:"But it's the best country in the world for you now, no?"

ie. you love living here, therefore it's the best for you for now.

So, I kind of do expect you to except (sic) it!!!!!! lol

Just a little comment on this new 'mantra' that keeps cropping up.

When I lived in London, obviously I knew a lot of Aussies. (And in other countries too).

They were travelling the world, and stayed in London for a while to earn money and be with other Aussies too. I don't know what happened to all of them, but some went back, and there were some who came to London, and didn't like it and went back after a short while.

Not all offspring of POM migrants return to the land of their fathers. (I know you didn't say they all do). But it depends on their personality and life - they're not salmon!!!!
