Perthbum Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I here everyone say when the weather is good in the UK " If the weather was like this all the time you would never go abroad" If the weather was as good as Oz would you stay in the UK?

lynn22 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Think I maybe probably would yes. Still I'm looking forward to the wildlife but could make do with seeing dead badgers & foxes at the side of the road here if we had much nicer weather.

CXW Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 No. The warmer weather in Australia isn't something I'm thrilled about - I'm in my element in properly cold weather and get nostalgic for Russian winters - although I know the Kiwi gf is looking forward to it as she finds British winters tough.

Metoo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 aye you wud feel different up here in bonny jock land:wink: Maybe, I think Leicester is wearing a bit thin. Not much happening in the midlands. Scotland has a beauty all of its own and I hear they have real snow in winter too. We generally get a half inch of brown slushy stuff that lasts half a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anlopa Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We have just got in after a walk on the sea front at Blackpool it was nice but cold when we set off after walking 3 miles it had gone dark, Bloody cold and oh yes started raining (that fine wet stuff that comes in sideways). So we turned round to walk back head first in to the gail that had blown us their in record time. The kids moaned on the way back (I would of too but it was me that suggested the walk) so we sat on the window sill of Ripleys believe it or not, while other half braved the last mile to pick up the car. While sat their my youngest asked me "will it be like this in Aus" would I stay in the U.K if the weather was better No way just have to walk down the prom in Blackpool to know why.

MARYROSE02 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 People who live in perfect climes (whatever and wherever that is) still go abroad for whatever reason - work, holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It wasn't the weather that made us move (although I have to say that having more sunshine does give you a feel good factor), for us it was looking for an opportunity to do something different and live in another country.

Guest guest30038 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 would I stay in the U.K if the weather was better No way just have to walk down the prom in Blackpool to know why. Move further inland to the housing estates and you'd have even more reason to leave Blackpool, and it has nothing to do with the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charlie Big Potatos Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The weather down south England is great, yes it rains but it when the sun shines it is absolutely glorious. You also need to remember that without rain you get desert, the "green and pleasant land" wouldn't be without rain. It also rains a hell of a lot in Australia, more than most people think. I think I read somewhere that Perth WA has more annual rainfall than London believe it or not. I used to drive from Sydney - Brisbane a lot and some of the route you could be driving through surry - it was so green and lush (ie rains a lot) and parts of QLD look brown and dusty with trees that resemble twigs (not much rain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest36187 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Would make no difference to me. That wasn't a consideration in moving here for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sh7t man no way Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 i like the weather more in the uk rather than oz-i live in oz sometimes because of family reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think if the weather was 32 degrees every day and blue skies and I could take the beach, rainforest and my home back to the UK then yes I may consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn22 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Tis true, even if we had the weather everything else would be the same... I'm looking for a change, more opportunitys for our kids now & when they are older so prob I would still go. It would be nicer to stay here with better weather tho, we could be more encouraged to do out door things etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rrwilky Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Having just spent two weeks wearing my rain coat and my wellies on my holidays the weather is playing a bigger part then ever, but opportunities for the kids and getting them away from the lazy teen culture which exists in the uk is a big factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag of convenience Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I here everyone say when the weather is good in the UK " If the weather was like this all the time you would never go abroad"If the weather was as good as Oz would you stay in the UK? Weather would have little to no impact on me personly. There is a whole world out there to discover and explore and so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
