In today's episode...
Crikey! Everyone’s packing their bags and heading Down Under, but is Australia really the land of sunshine and affordable living it’s cracked up to be? 🤔
In this episode, I’m diving headfirst into a video by Lottie Clarke, who reckons the Aussie cost of living ain’t so bad compared to the UK. But hold your horses, mate! 🐴 I reckon she might be in for a rude shock. 😲
We’re tackling the good, the bad, and the ugly: mass immigration, sky-high house prices, and the truth about those “cheap” coffees. ☕ Plus, we’re having a yarn about the recent changes to working holiday visas – could this be why even MORE Brits are making the move?
If you’re thinking of trading London for Sydney, or just curious about the real deal Down Under, chuck on your headphones and have a listen! 🎧 Or, if you’re keen to see the visuals, head over to YouTube and watch the full video. 🇦🇺
Let’s get into it! 🦘

Hey Pte,

By the way, i live in one of the easter suburbs, Clyde North and happy to drive up in the city.

I purchased a membership today, but I am unable to access the benefits associated with it.
I have already tried logging out and back into my account, as well as clearing my browser cache, but the issue persists.
Could you kindly investigate this matter and let me know why I am unable to use the membership benefits? If any further details or actions are required from my side, please let me know. I‘ve also sent an email to the support team and attached the invoice for your reference.
Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your prompt reply.
Hey Charlotte, I’m going to email you privately with my support team to help sort it out. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Pete
