Ugh, I have to ask where do they get these unbearable couples who go on these house hunting trips to Australia who turn their noses up at every property shown to them...houses that are far better than anything they were ever used to in Blighty being discarded as 'too small' (4 bedrooms, BBQ area, 2 receptions and 2 bathrooms not enough for a family of 3?)...''no pool' (you're by the beach luv)...'where's the shops?'(ummm, around the corner - no Tesco in Oz luv)....
The woman on this morning's show has a face like a dyspeptic bulldog - beautiful houses and none of them good enough. Looking at their pokey little dive back home they deserve no better. Honestly.:mad:

I think they're expecting some kind of miracle fix...
Little boy's OK though.
Its not about 'insisting' on living here, I certainly do not, my husband is from Northern Ireland and contracted to work here. We wont be here forever I tell you
I don't know any expat who 'insists' on living here...odd turn of phrase
The majority of Australians live in Australia for a good reason...:cool:
Looking at the Scottish house I don't think they're particularly house proud!
They clearly hadn't thought anything out like leaving family behind, travelling distance, cost and time for visitors etc.
Was it explained how they could jump from selling a house for £120k to buying one for £300k?
Yes its amazing but so is the UK, thats why I moved here and chose to remain.
The show itself does my head in, those homes are amazing, how they afford them I have no idea??
She was a midwife apparently! I didn't hear any reason given but may have missed it.
That didn't make sense, she was spending £900 a month renting in London, surely there are hospitals nearer to Glasgow that need midwives.
It was an unsatisfactory programme all round. Bring back Heir Hunters.
Oh I like this programe, purely because I disagree with just about every family, and I enjoy a good rant at the tv in the morning!
I've enjoyed them in the past but this one didn't do it for me today.:D
Same here but I got the impression they both thought they are gods gift to their professions so perhaps a Scottish hospital wouldn't be good enough on her CV.
