I met a young 23 year old Londoner at the party: he's here in Australia doing the backpacker/fruit picker 'thing'. He's rapt with Australia and once he reluctantly returns to UK, he reckons he's going to do everything in his power to meet requirements to emigrate here. I told him I toyed with the idea of living in England for awhile and he did his best to talk me out of it. To him, the people are depressing, the weather is depressing, everything is grey and grim. and an English winter is to be avoided at all costs. The only thing he misses is the soccer (he's a Chelsea fan). He believes that Australians don't realise how lucky they are to live in this country.
I think we do.
