Like rats leaving a sinking ship, more and more Brits are abandoning the shores of Blighty for the promise of a new life (and job) Down Under.
Figures from recruitment firm Hays show the number of Brits seeking jobs in Australia and New Zealand has risen by 20% in the past year. The sinking realisation that the country is slowly suffocating under this huge mountain of public debt Gordon Brown and the bankers have saddled us with, has driven people to look for work as far away from the UK as possible.
Well, Guru says good riddance to them. If they don't want to stay when times are tough then they're not the kind of people we want around. Where's the famous British stiff upper lip, Dunkirk spirit, etc, etc. We didn't get where we are today by jumping ship at the first sign of trouble. Oh, hang on a minute, we're in deep sh*t - abandon ship everyone!
According to Hays, the number of Antipods looking to return home has also risen. Guru is a tad worried - who will pour his pint in London pubs when he's drowning his sorrows if all the Aussies and Kiwis are heading home?
