Murf, let me know if ya'll ever plan to actually make the move. I'm a licensed realtor in S. Florida (Fort Lauderdale area)

I moved here 5+ years ago from Nashville, and love being a mile from the beach. Coldest its been this year was 50deg. F (10 deg. C). Very rough here. Tons of Canadian snowbirds in the winter, and tons that have relocated.

We're missing them in Arizona, also. For that matter, we're missing lots of snowbird dollars from all over the place. Traffic has been lighter this winter, though. That said, I'd take the bucks.

Loads of other things that will kill you quicker though...

I mean frick - you lot even have a poisonous snail. Perhaps the slowest moving animal on the planet is still deadly there.

You know, you could instead do the world a service and let them in instead and be naturally weeded out.

But nooooooo.....

What happened to making the world a better place and all?

My wife wanted a holiday in Australia. I Goggle Image searched "Australian spiders" for her. Off to Europe we went.

Ahh, I can just see Down Under's new tourism slogan now "Pretty much every living thing here can kill you....but at least the beer's good!"

Yeah...you did give us Fosters. A point in your favour.

Ok, let’s clear this up for your Wife.

Yes we have deadly snakes, spiders, sharks, even snails (apparently) FFS but in 99.9% of places tourists and residents alike go you will never see any of them let alone get attacked.

I’ve lived here for about 56 years and I have never seen most of the deadly creatures. Might see the very occasional red back (like the black widow), I’ve never seen a Funnel Web or a Eastern Brown snake or anything like them.

Don’t go wandering around in the bush and you’ll be safe.

Imagine getting attacked by a death snail. “Tell us what happened”, “I don’t know it all happened so fast”......

We do have Kangaroos jumping down the streets though

Sorry, my sarcasm didn’t come through.

We do not, nor would we ever, drink Foster’s.

It is horrid!

We do have plenty of great beer BTW, just don’t drink that!

I’ve tried some American beer when I have been there but on the whole it is just not my thing.

Meh, I've had it, it wasn't horrible. Tasted a little nutty which wasn't my thing, but other people seem not to mind it, and I felt you might think I was going a little hard on Australia there, so I didn't want to put down the beer, because I genuinely do like Australia or at least the people from there. Have never met anyone from there that I thought was an absolute tool. Yet. I'm sure they are there...just haven't met them yet.

Course, now that I think about it, most that I've met have been through work or work circles which means they had to pass the screening tests of global firms...maybe that's why I've had such good experiences. Maybe there is something deeper to you lot calling each other cunts all the time than just good natured fun.

Export the Fosters, keep the VB for yourselves.

I'm on to your cunning plan.

Jokes aside wife is on the very edge re. COVID19, she wants a safe haven. There are other issues here too, current government is squarely aiming at us (two professionals, marginal tax rates will increase) to cover their utterly insane spending. The long winters are starting to wear us out too, it's Feb 1st and you're looking at late May before consistent warm weather.

I am more a pragmatist and the longer term issues (climate, cost of living gap dramatically closing, lack of landscape in GTA, massive debt and huge public service will bite us here eventually) bother me more than the handling of COVID19. Wife has been a hard core supporter of viscous lock down and absolute shutting of border from day 1 and is absolutely gob smacked how badly it is being handled here.

YOu can argue if she is right or wrong but she has been consistent.
