I had a conversation with a gentleman from England this week and oddly enough we chatted about this. He claims we are worked like dogs here compared to there, I had often thought that was maybe why the european machines don't seem to hold up to well here which he agreed with. I have also worked in the trade with 2 people from Europe who came here to fix forklifts, one man went back after a year and the other guy went back after two. It's not it's all cracked up to be.

I would suggest you try it somehow first before making that commitment. Good luck with everything!

Have you got a sponsor and are you legal to work there? It isn't easy like it is to get to Os
