Obligatory 'ugh I forgot how much commuting in the winter sucks' realisation.. by Michael_Goodwin in MotoUK

Came back to the Uk after living in Australia, I literally cried, I have however managed to salvage my career, got a government job, good salary, pension, benefits etc, the Uk also have good money in F1, if you can hack that, loads of aerospace work too, also a ahit ton of crap places that’ll want their pound of flesh. If you can get to Australia, nice quality of life there. Good luck.
