You're quite brave coming out here having not visited before, but I'm sure you'll be able to benefit from the stories from those who already have and those who are planning to in just a couple of months. I've been here over two years now. Keep those questions coming. paul

Not a fantastic wage, but once quallified, you more or less write your own cheque!! I pulled £33,500 this last year. (April to April) Airconkid
