Still not time to emigrate?

[snaw]

What are you having a whinge and moan about now snaw?

Ahh the old 'poofsaywhat' trick.

No thats great news DA. As the NZ peso crashes my stash of £ becomes even stronger.

Recssions only effect the peasant classes.

Most western ecnonmies are heading for a recession, just that NZ has accepted it and trying to battle through it as quickly as possible... the UK is discussing a holiday on stamp duty so the housing boom can carry on.....

4 months and then I'm out of here

I will miss standing on any one of London's bridges and surveying the skyline.

I will miss the 100s of years of history and the thought of all the people before me that have lived their lives in every street that I walk down daily.

I will miss the easy journey to Lords and watching International Cricket in such a prestigious location.

But that is about it.

I will miss getting hundreds of pounds a day for surfing the web

Where you off to then?

With everyone leaving, who is going to create the demand for 1 bed city apartments? They have built millions of them and now everyone is pissing off to a better place.

The same type of people who were originally housed in inner-city high rise blocks.

I'm reminded of Judge Dread and the "block wars" depicted therein.

OK, burst my bubble then

I'm off to New Zealand.

Gang violence.
Low wages.
High cost of living relative to earnings.
Property boom that has put home ownership out of reach for the youngsters.
Politicians that look like they are amateurs playing at running a country.

I think that I will feel right at home.

Its no wonder that the locals are leaving in droves (they are all allowed to live and work in Australia and a large number of them are doing that).

Mrs Gonzo is a kiwi who has lived in London for the last ten years but has now decided that it is time to go home.

Low wages? yes
Property Boom? No different ot the UK
Politicians? The opposition is 20-30 % ahead in the polls, so likely next PM is this guy
