Another 'it's all because of Brexit' thing? We were going tits up way before Brexit so people use it as an excuse.

Perfect distillation of the attitude that gives the government carte blanche to f*ck up again and again. Their Brexit wasn't the only way it could've been done and calling out their absolute tanking of the country isn't complaining about the referendum result.

For the first time in my life, I can honestly say if it wasn't for the family / employment ties, I'd be f*cking right off out of here. Not sure where that would be seeing as it's considerably harder now to go and live in the EU but there's got to be better places than this.

TIA.
I've been living in Sydney about 15 years now, and still love it. You get a great outdoor lifestyle and people are generally happier and more friendly. Don't get fooled by talk of more rain here. When it rains it properly rains so you get a higher quantity, none of that British drizzle, but you probably get 6 months worth of dry shorts wearing days. It has its problems though like any place particularly with property affordability. Adelaide is a nice, cheaper, quieter place if you're looking for an alternative. If you don't mind it a bit colder Tasmania is great.

Alternatively New Zealand is a great option. Beautiful country, great skiing in the winter, nice people, great leader. Weather is fairly similar to the UK there.

Fucks sake. My nan had the right idea - she was deaf.
