I haven’t read over 100 posts although I have scanned through quite a few and the point I would like to ask those that have moved aboard is ……. Did you take you British attitude with you or did you go there to embrace the live style?

I started my apprenticeship as a plumber with the PWD at Worthing road depot in August 1957, and never had any problems. No long stands no sky hooks nothing.
