If it the same people who have been on Radio then they were in the industry and got a TV deal and a book out of it.......They had some problems with a neighbour and water rights?

Several of my rellies took advantage of the £10 assisted passage scheme. They never came back so assume they must have quite liked Aussie land LOL. My neice settled in Australia 10 years ago, lives in Mt Isa. They have taken Australian citizenship, bought some land in Cairns where her husband is building a house and they intend to move there in 2/3 years. Made a wonderful life for themselves and their 2 'water babies', so called as they spend so much time in the pool. Personally I don't know how anyone could give up the long, dark, cold winters and short, rainy summers of England... but each to their own LOL. Jean x.

The people in the BBC show.....'A place in Slovakia' seemed to have plenty of money. They didn't need assisted passage.I would have thought Slovakia would have been a very different place than England and an odd choice.

Well when me and the Mr's was visiting London last year on Olidays from Oz.......we waz a bit short on cash...and was wonering how we wuz gunna get back home to Oz.So i sez to the Mrs.......wotcha reckon i get inta the back door of Buck Palace........and then let you in ( the Mrs.that is ) and we get transported to Oz for free......curtzey of the Crown, like our ancestors. That way it wont cost us a quid or nuffin.....:>)) Tony Oz..:>))

The amount of Slovakian's who av entered the U.K since we joined up with the EU, is enough 2 put me off movin 2 there country, ask yrself WHY SOOOO many off them want 2 come 2 ENGLAND.

If any of you get the chance to watch this programme it will give you a laugh. And turn you off moving to central Europe. Tony.....how did you & the missus go? Did you get back to dear old Oz or are you still stuck there?

Yep...thanks Trifley, eventually........... Well its a long story reelly, and a bit embarrassin reely............but we wuz feelin a bit guilty about wot appened 185 years ago to Barbs Great great granddad...he nicked an 'apple' in 1834 and got transported out to Tassie for seven years.......So anyweys we wuz passin Buck Palace, and nobody was lookin......so i threw it over the fence......and then we run like the devil.....:>))....but we felt awblidged to do the right thing n' all...and return wot wasn't rightfelly ours. But we got home o'k...ta Tony Oz...:>)) ps. we is goin back over in June...cos we found that Barbs G,G, Grandma had nicked a cow!!!.....but we dont know how we gunna fit it in the suitcase?

2 convicts! How did she manage that? Some of us can't even find one! Trifley

Ton.... being as the oiriginal cow is long gone.... can I suggest you purchase one over here . that will solve the problem of getting it through customs. The only difficulty you will after that is scarpering away... I know we're not very observant but can't believe no one will notice you tossing a cow over the railings of Buck House... better have a good getaway car (Steve McQueen's in Bullitt would be good). Jean x.

That's a good idea, Jean. But if they got a calf it would be easier to toss over the fence.

Don't think that's good enough trifley.... was a fully growed cow gggrandma nicked.

Yeah......but the calf will grow. Like bank interest.

O.K. perhaps we'll accept the calf as part payment. If it lives to be a fully gown up cow all debts discharged.

Ooohhh..and please dont forget the most important part....on the surgeons report on arrival to the Penal Colony Quote: 'Steeling a Cow wif intent to eat'....er'm.....i mean.....wot else ya gunna do wif a Cow if ya not gunna eat it? You can only milk e'm fer so long.......:>)) A theiven lot my Mrs are.......i noticed the way her eyes lit up when she saw the Crown Jewels. Tony Oz...:>))
