UK Landlord Forum / Life

Australia is to launch an aggressive campaign aimed at attracting a new generation of British immigrants.

With slogans directly attacking life in the UK, such as "Sod London house prices" and "Screw working in Staines, hello Adelaide" creators of the South Australian Government newspaper advertisements are aware some noses may be put out of joint.

Bill Muirhead, an Adelaide-born founder partner in the M & C Saatchi advertising firm who has been appointed agent-general of South Australia, said he was aware the campaign might create a few enemies.

"It might appear we are being rude, but a lot of things in Britain aren't good," he told The Times.

Andrew Hirst, mayor of Spelthorne, the borough that includes Staines, took the bait.

"It's a great shame the Australians have to pick on Staines," he told the newspaper. lol

The latest campaign, which starts tomorrow, promises young people can buy a four-bedroom detached house on the beach with room for a swimming pool and "barbie" for just $435,825.

Australia just doesn't seem all that appealing to me, I don't know why!

A friend of mine recently quit the UK and moved out there ... came back three months later.

Its a very long way from home. The length of the flight would put me off even holidaying there, let alone relocating.

Why did she move back?

Yeah, I really couldn't handle the flight and that's pretty much why I'm not tempted to go there.

The grass is always greener on the other side !

cheers

I have seen this news in many portals; really London property prices are going up due to large number of foreign investment. Especially Australians are taking more interest in London property market as compare to others. Even my friend from Australia recently bought a flat by the help of Plazaestates, in South Kensington area of London. He left his job there and relocated here with his whole family.
