coast to coast Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hi ALL, This is my first post,long time reader! Well after 5 1/2 yrs here on the Gold Coast, we have deceided to go home.We will be returning with our 4yr old who was born here in OZ. Hubby works as a Head chef, and he has had enough so sick of staff not turning up for work, when they do they don`t know what they are doing!!:arghh: He has had it, and is quite happy to return home. I can`t wait, we have had some good times here, and we have our citizenship. So we are planning for house to go for sale in Nov and we move when it sells.

Guest famousfive Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hi and welcome to the forum.My OH is a head chef too and feels the same,he is an aussie and he keeps saying there is no work ethic at all in restaurants here and is amazed at the amount of so called qualified chefs who just don't know how to cook.He has worked for some charlatans and some great people too but the attitude from staff remains the same.We return to Ireland next year and look forward to getting into a decent work environment again.Good luck with your return.

Elle Hi best of luck with your return home - I must say since being back in Uk am astounded at the quality of the food here - absolutely beautiful (have been lunching sooo much - it must stop soon). Pub food is amazing here in berks - hope your OH enjoys returning to a rejuvenated "foodie" culture. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 That's exactly what my brother said when he came back from a trip to the UK recently, he was amazed at the quality and variety of the food, in stark contrast to what some seem to say.
