Australia versus the UK: Sin.

1 February 2010 Australia vs UK

It’s better than that! It’s Australia versus the rest of the world. This article hit the news the other day here in Australia and probably where you are too, and it has been met with hoots of derision. Apparently, the BBC has a science and technology magazine and in the latest edition they have announced [...]

“Who Can That Be, That Flies Through The Sky?”

22 December 2009 Australia vs UK

….”It IS who you think, but instead driven by……..” The more observant of you would have noticed something strange about Santa’s reindeer in yesterday’s post about Christmas house lights. For those of you who aren’t so observant, let me help you out. As you can no doubt see, the reindeer appear to be in the [...]

Australia Versus England: Drunken Violence

18 December 2009 Australia vs UK

Since moving to Australia I have stopped reading daily newspapers. I was beginning to bore with the papers in the UK just before I emigrated, so I really couldn’t see the point of immersing myself daily in Australian news when I got here. But I do like to check the online news here in Australia, [...]

England Versus Australia at Christmas Traditions

15 December 2009 Australia vs UK

As you know, our weekend began with horse racing on Saturday, but how did it end? Allow me to tell you. On Saturday evening, we put up our Christmas decorations. Our idea of Christmas decorations is probably a little more conservative than most people’s idea. We have, for many years, simply put up a Christmas [...]

Australia’s Christmas Post: Oh No! Not Another Strike?

11 December 2009 Australia vs UK

Talking of stamps, I heard from a friend of mine back in England the other week that there was a bit of a post strike going on. When I departed from England’s shores two years ago, the UK’s postal service seemed a complete mess to me. So now I live in Australia, what is Australia [...]

Are Australians the Friendliest People in the World?

3 December 2009 Australia vs UK

I woke up in a hot sweat the other night. But that’s something you just have to get used to during the summers here in Australia. But while I was lying there, trying to get back to sleep, I had this thought. I didn’t actually address Vivienne’s comment when she said “I do love the [...]

My House Is Bigger Than Your House. It’s Official!

2 December 2009 Australia vs UK

A good while ago I wrote an article about Australia versus England at house prices where I tried to compare the cost of housing in Australia with houses in the UK. My conclusion was that, despite a report suggesting Australia had some of the world’s most expensive housing, I still felt housing here was cheaper [...]

Daddy, There Must Be More to Life Than Australia?

19 November 2009 Australia vs UK

If you haven’t yet read Vivienne’s email to me which was the subject of yesterday’s post, it might be an idea to do that now before reading my reply. My reply. Firstly, wild horses couldn’t drag me back to England now, I love my life in Australia and I’m here to stay. We all love [...]
