warrigal 4 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Interesting stuff folks, I have been resident outside the uk since '87, but still feel its my home, HOWEVER, things move on and not always for the best. Talking to a lot of Brit expats here in Australia and in NZ and South Africa where I get an odd gig, many say rather like one of our contributers, "Oh I'd like a versiion of Britain with better weather". Whilst,they are, splendid in so many ways the aforementioned countries are, they are NOT, UK with better weather.They have their own unique culture, issues and problems. The grass is never greener, only ever a different shade. For those who are serious I would now pick NZ over Oz. Mind you they have outlawed the keeping of ferrets! Due to their feral ferret problem so for me it can only ever be a "working holiday" destination. Trap 'em or keep 'em. Well I prefer to keep 'em. (and so should they given their rabbit issues) P.S. There are NO feral ferret populations in OZ, yet the wee fellers are "illegals" in QLD about the least likely state in the land for them to set up a feral population. And, if you thought Govt. dinilos were a UK only species, Oh, how wrong you are, we have a special breed here, any wetter you could shoot ducks off them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BULL 100 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 got quite a few pals in southern spain and familey been going there for 6 years and nearley bought about 5 year ago im so glad i didnt the houses i looked at were 220 thousand euro across the board there now 90 thousand euro ,which makes it within my grasp to buy one but the next problem is there is very few jobs that are well paying . I then thought of nz ,oz but the one wanted the most was usa mrs not keen on oz or nz because of the distance so im getting back to my original career and getting extra qualifications and will consider going for it in about 4p5 years.
