Lol, first it says "2 months", then it says "2 weeks", then it says "2 months again"....

*consistency*

You'd think they'd go for a while before moving to see whether they liked it or not.

"Having never been to Australia and with no family and only few friends living in the country, the idea to move struck Mrs Goodfellow after watching STV documentary series ‘Poms in Paradise’ about Brits who have settled in Sydney."

'2 weeks' was until the realization came they fudged up.

then after 2 months they were back in britain

 

though the article suggests that was like their last 10000...

if you move halfway around the world you should atleast double that

 

and fruit juice... come on people.

Yeah, when you move halfway round the world you have to adjust to how people in that country live. You can't just go there and be upset that <thing A> isn't available there.

Unless <thing A> = "oxygen" or something :P

that family picture is great though...

atleast the cheese is not that much more expensive huh.

[SMURG]

We are talking fruit juice here are we not?

Yeah, brand of fruit juice is pretty near the bottom when it comes to maslow's heirarchy of need I think

Well tbh using the percentages is a bit misleading. I mean, 71% higher than £1 = £1.71, but come on, that's hardly a big deal. The 53% increase from £6 to £9 is way bigger for example...

Someone should email the story to the juice company... family moves back to UK from Australia on the basis of not being able to find their brand of juice! Maybe they will get some for free.

 

That's all I have to say, the rest just makes me wonder how stupid they are and why they deserve to have a news article written about them.
