always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330 752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq	Can you get pie, chips and gravy in Australia though?

AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! Member 22, 452 posts SQ 250, BP 195, DL 250 695.0 kgs @ 121kgs Eq	Of course. And I have to say, I think fish and chips are much better in Oz. None of this cooking the fish and leaving it under those heat lamps. Yuk!

Fair enough mate. Yeah, it can get stinking hot over in WA. Where were you, in Perth? I think perhaps West Australians and Queenslanders in particular can be quite redneckish, they're mainly people of British descent after all. But in all honestly, the English are some of the most racist people I've encountered. I think Melbourne and Sydney are different things all together. Horses for courses as we say!

AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! Member 22, 452 posts SQ 250, BP 195, DL 250 695.0 kgs @ 121kgs Eq	BTW, a lot of people, including my immigrant father have a lot of animosity towards the Aboriginals. Some of it warranted, some not. They got subjected to some truely terrible stuff at the hands of the British, but in a lot of people's minds, what done is done and people need to move on etc. But this is not the time and place for this sort of debate I guess.

fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260 652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	DMPM said: I can understand that a Brit going to Oz will miss their friends and family and won't get to see them much at all, but England has NOTHING on Australia in terms of lifestyle and I'm not being nationalistic. I'd had enough after 8 months of Perth and Sydney. I can't disagree with the many material advantages of living there you've cited, but ultimately I'd still take the UK any day.

AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! Member 22, 452 posts SQ 250, BP 195, DL 250 695.0 kgs @ 121kgs Eq	But surely for you and Boar, that is due to you being English? Home is home no?

I could easily move out there.

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq	I work wit ha lot of Aussies here and most of them LOVE Enlgnad, well they love London anyway. Most of these guys earn a hell of a lot more than they would in Oz though and so can live the London lifestyle. Like DP says though, home is home and so the ones that dont marry someone English will all go back im sure.
