Working in Silicon Valley or San Francisco

Thanks for the info.

We're only looking (initially at least) at a couple of years. Having done 2 years in California we have no illusions about the logistics and practicalities of moving abroad but I reckon it will be FAR easier than trying to adapt to the US.

Have you ever tried asking for a glass of water in California in a theme park? After 5 minutes of blank stares someone piped up - "oh, they mean wadder"

Try asking for Sparkling Water in Oz....

No, it's Mineral Wudder. My wife just gets blank looks when she asks for Sparkling Water!
