Emigration

[Lee Winger]

Ok my day has consisted of eating, surfing the net and nodding off. The weather down here today has been damp, dark and murkey all day to say the least. My kids have been bored stiff allday, if you take them out it costs an arm and a leg.

 

Work is pretty slow, rates are pi$$ poor, and running costs are a joke. Fuel prices look set to go up further next week!

 

So i've been thinking who amongst us would consider emigrating given the chance? i've done a poll.

 

I have heard in the last few weeks of several Brits, [friends and family] planning on emigrating to Australia, NZ, Canada and Ireland, some have already gone

 

P.S I haven't even touched the subject of house prices!

I would- planning to check out Canada soon

We've had an application in for 2 years now to move to B.C Canada, hopefully we'll be out of here within the next 12 months. I sure hope there's some climbing work available over there!

I have considered it - I can't say all that seriously yet but aspects do appeal. A few friends of mine have moved to NZ and are loving it. Want to go visit soon and see if it's as good as it sounds.

 

I do love the UK though, it would be hard to leave for good.

I think its fairly tough to get into any of those countrys except ireland which is EU. Ive been told that ireland is pretty sound with a growing economy and muchos grantos for busness to be had.

Where in B.C.? Competent climbers are pretty much always guaranteed a job, now rate of pay is a whole other thing. I live in B.C. terrible lace to live

I don't think its that hard to move to OZ or NZ, as long as you have some formal quals, kept your nose clean with the law for the last 2 years and your under 45, my mate went to an open day in London hosted by Australian firms, he got a job and sponser their and then, in fact he was offered 2 jobs, he's going to be a refrigeration engineer, though he had the chance to work for a firm fitting garage doors.

Vancouver. We were looking at a place called Richmond, do you know it?

The only thing that puts me off emigrating is elderly in-laws and parents.
