    Comment


      We're currently on 4 year visas in Oz. Reason's we're seriously not considering coming back:

      1. Britain's system punishes the family and treats single parents better
      2. Lack of investment in the health service
      3. Crazy open door policy to the EU for people with no intention of working
      4. Political correctness rising to ever increasing levels of absurdity
      5. IR35 and similar legislation
      6. Huge debt mountain
      7. Global domination of Tesco and decline of small shops
      8. "5 minute" summers
      9. Appalling, overpriced train service
      10. General air of depression and gloom in the country

      shall I go on?

            No that is not the best thing in Berlin. Looks like you missed out when you lived there

              Interestingly if one sells one's property in London, one can buy a similar in Berlin (detached villa with garden in excellent area) and have a few hundred thousand K to spare.

                Sas,

                the rule applies to many cities,

                'Interestingly if one sells one's property in London, one can buy a similar in many many European capitals and cities (detached villa with garden in excellent area) and have a few hundred thousand K to spare.'

                You will be the lucky one selling the house in London and going somewhere cheaper.

                Unfortunately not all of them are in that position.

                Milan.

                  Sas,

                  you gave the game away about the Sausage Munching Mrs (no pun intended honest) when you said you've visited Berlin every year for the last 20 years.

                  Nobody, and I mean nobody, would do that without a serious reason.

                  Milan.

                    1. Australia's system punishes the native people
                    2. No Public health service
                    3. Crazy open door policy to Australia for people from China and India

                    5. Australian Beer
                    6. Huge Deserts and forest fires
                    7. Global domination of Murdoch
                    8. "50 degree" summers

                    HTH
                    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

                    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
