Guest chris955 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 We had friends in Kempsey and used to ride our bikes up there often, it was a lovely trip. The pub at Kempsey (The Sailor ?) did the best steak and Ale pie in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest burgledad Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 As someone born in Oz, I have to agree. But it hasn't always been like this - it has really deteriorated since the 1980s.I'm actually thinking of ordering some bedlinen online from overseas: does anyone have any recommendations? (have started looking at the Debenhams site). Thanks, Vivien Marks and Spencer will supply the best value for money for basics such as bedding if you shop at UK sites. Decent quality at reasonable prices. Next is similar. We've just come back from the USA. Prices over there are lower still and they ship around the world. Try Target, JC Penny, Wal-mart, Publix, K-mart sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bod Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Not very inclusive, or is there a presumption that those who aren't returning don't miss anything?.............not being snotty, just asking. kev PS if I can be included, I don't miss the sausages :wink: :biglaugh: That makes a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bod Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm an Aussie stuck in the UK - been here 32 years and now just so desperately want to get home, but unfortunately am looking at another 5 or so years before that can happen due to my pension situation. But after living here so long, I am aware there are some things I am going to miss with a passion when I eventually return home, and in no particular order, these are: Sunday driving just because you can Now that is one of the things I miss about Aus. The effortless pleasure of driving on a Sunday. Still enjoy it hear there is more to see but not as relaxing as in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 All this talk about missing pubs is just making me salivate. A nice pub might be my first stop in a couple of weeks :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landv Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 All this talk about missing pubs is just making me salivate. A nice pub might be my first stop in a couple of weeks :biggrin: Chris, When are you going to visit the UK? How long are you staying for and which areas will you visit? I am not always following your posts, but I do know how much you want to go back to the UK, can't wait to hear what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I fly out in 2 weeks and stay for 3 weeks. It is a business and pleasure trip. It is in part what people on here call a reccie I suppose. I want very much to return to the UK as does my wife and even my Brisbane born kids but I do realise things are tough for some but most returnees seem to be very positive in their findings when they get back 'home'. I am looking forward to seeing all our very good friends that we now realise we probably shouldn't have left in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
