I've just come back from Spruce Grove Alberta my main thing I like was the driving experience drove 2000 miles in 2 months Not a single problem with other drivers they also seem calm and drive slower it could just be my Imagination though food can be abit expensive but property price compared to where I live in the England are half the price if not more Back in England girlfriend drove to lakeside Essex People driving like nutters Up your ass overtaking to the point of a major crash All in 20 minute drive Uk is a mess
@anitaj.bartley You're right. It's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance. It's better to take risks and make sacrifices than to remain poor.
The first rule of living in England: if you are lower or lower middle class, emigrate while you are still young, and do not look back! I quit in 1969 and have no regrets.
Wishing everyone who reads this the absolute best! life is not easy here in UK anymore... Let alone London! The country is indeed finished, My grandfather came here after fighting in WW2 and raised his family not knowing that our generation would find it this difficult. But it is what it is and we must be like my grandad and find somewhere better to go and wish our children and grandkids have a better future. Male 35 living in London just got into trucking. Engineer by trade sick of dealing with low payed jobs and high taxes on everything we earn and pay for! also i had the same issues with dentists!!! way too expensive!!!!!!
The U.K. is a Dystopia. The more affordable places to live are on the fringes like north or wales and even those are getting rediculous 200k+ for a damp box. And food, everything is a rip off. Incomes for the majority don’t cover the outgoings and everyone is in the red and slowly being surrounded by their own sewage on a prison island. Wish I had left years ago.
I have the right to reside in the Uk thanks to the settlement scheme but I had to leave because I refused to pay 1000 pounds for a small room in an overcrowded house, doing underpaid jobs I don't like. I prefer starving in my own country at this point...It's incredible how a working person feels like poor and destitute now
First time I’ve seen your channel Sam I moved to Aus from England in 2009 and have never looked back. Went back in May for the first time in 7 years and couldn’t believe how bad it’s got. Australia’s not perfect but it’s very safe and a good place for a young family. Hope everything works out for you in WA, plenty of long drives out there for you trucking. All the best mate 👍
Yes!! Same happened to me when I had strange bleeding. Rang and they literally told me “we have no appointments for the foreseeable future” My youngest is brain damaged due to a late diagnosis of galactosaemia as a baby. It’s awful and very scary living here now. I hate this country with a passion. Wishing you and your family the best of luck and loads of happiness for the future!!
Good video mate,I also decided to pack things up and leave uk for good,I’ve been to a lot of places but never ever seen such a depressing miserable weather all year round.also it feels so unsafe now.
Just be aware that house prices in AUS are very high, im about an hour out of Sydney and a 3 bed house is £420k, now that might seem a good or bad deal depending where your coming from in the UK. The big benefit though is we moved over here in January and doing the exact same job for the exact same company but over here, went from £40k to £90k, so overall we have more money in our pockets, plus its mid winter here and its 18c, thats not such a bad place to be.
Cheers for the advice mate, where I going is quite far away from the main cities so relative to our house prices where I currently live isn't bad at all. I'm just looking forward to not being so close to a big city and having a more peaceful way of life.
House prices have increased in Aus but they are still cheaper than UK. You get much more for your cash in Aus too and much easier to get detached which is 300k minimum in UK. I moved from London to Toowoomba as a Nurse and got my house just a few months ago for equivalent of 280k gbp and that was detached with very large garden not like the tiny chicken boxes in UK with your neighbors right on top of you. Stay away from capital cities just like most counties. In Australia you still have the option to go rural and get cheap places, that option doesn't exist anymore in the UK even rural is expensive. Plus you get paid much more in Aus and the weather to boot. There is NO contest.
For £420k where I’m from in the UK at best we’d get a small 3 bed semi detached. I’m about 2 hours from London. To afford a nice big family home you have to live at least 4-5 hours from London.
@@Sarah-ft8jr we have your exact 3 bed semi in the midlands, I bought it end of 2021 for £157k, just shows how much location makes a difference to potential quality of life by not having a big mortgage
It's very sad that so many our best young people are heading off, leaving family and friends. I wish you all the very best. I lived in Spain for 14 years, not on the Costas but working in and around Madrid with a Spanish family. I came back so my son would get English and other reasons but the years over there were the best in my life. Living in a different country is very enriching and you have the huge bonus of the language. If it's not for you then New Zealand and its people have always impressed me.
I'm 44 and would leave the UK tomorrow if I could. I have no reason why I wish to spend the rest of my life this horrible little country. Immigration is my biggest concern because it is destroying the country and eradicating the British way of life. There are no longer opportunities in the UK and the quality of life is pitiful. My advice to anyone that can get out of the UK for a better life, do it. Life is too short. Unfortunately, I am stuck here and it is making me ill. I wish you all the best in your new life.
@Wayne-fn1sw people are racist because us Brits have had enough of the mass immigration that is destroying our country. Everyone is miserable for the same reason.
Good luck. I'm too old now but i totally get anyone with a young family to make the move . They'll always be things better over here but they're becoming few and far between.
My daughter and her partner are both teachers and looking to leave , the education system is a shambles and most of the kids are hard work to say the least.
Hi Sam. I fully support your decision to leave the UK. I'm a British citizen living in Oman since 2018. Initially, I missed the UK due to nostalgia and emotional ties, but my parents had their reasons for moving-my dad's terrible work experience and my mum's family issues. They both believed the UK wasn't the right environment to raise us. Over time, I came to understand their perspective. I turned my feelings of missing the UK into enjoying life in Oman by making new friends, enjoying the food, and embracing the peacefulness. Oman is also much safer compared to the UK, which has been a huge benefit. It takes time to acclimatize to a new country, but it's worth it. I wish you and your family the best of luck wherever your new path takes you all. Best regards.
Good luck for the future Sam to you and the family, your young enough to make this move, Yes it will be tough especially in the First year or so, Look forward to seeing how you get on, 👍
Good luck to you and your family! I am Ukrainian and relocated to the UK in 2015 for work. After obtaining citizenship, we visited Sydney and Melbourne and traveled around those areas in January 2024. I would definitely agree that Australia is a better choice, and if we were 10 years younger, we would have stayed there. Due to the war in Ukraine, we cannot return home, so we decided to work remotely from Albania and Spain instead of staying in the UK. The reasons are the same: depressing weather, high cost of living, and especially food prices and quality. In Australia, the food is amazing! My ex-boss relocated there and wants to retire, but he is belgian so I guess they have the same shitty weather so Australia wins again))) While we have been visiting New Zealand, our taxi driver was telling that from time to time he was travelling to AU for some truck driving contracts as there is high demand so wish you to find a great company and enjoy driving there!
Thanks dude appreciate it, I have got 3 friends that have moved to Australia all different parts and all 3 have said they would not come back here. So that's good enough reason alone for me. I look forward to making new friends and content whilst I'm there.
I'm a Brit living in Austria. If you look in Google, cost of living is (Vienna to London) 28% cheaper to live in Austria (I live in the countryside so cheaper there). As a pensioner I could not afford to live in the UK.
I’m from Austria but have been living in the UK since 1996. The UK has sadly turned into a dump. My wife is British, and I’d love to move back to Austria but not so easy as my wife’s family are all here. I’ll keep trying to persuade her. Fingers crossed she’ll come round to my plan. Enjoy living outside Vienna.
Hi I am a 63 year young Dane. I recently talked to a guy from NZ. I know it is not AUS, but close. He told me that over NZ a big ozone hole have taken residens. It is resulting in that you have to use a lot of sun block, several times a day. He also told me skin cancer is way higher than the rest of the world. The clouds you hate, are your friends. Just take it into your calculation. Western AUS is quite a long way from NZ, so it might be fine. Good luck.
Wish you well buddy, what you say is spot on and will only get worse, we're only peasants working for the establishment who only care about themselves which ever party is in power .
Another bit of info for you. In all states in Australia, a heavy rigid truck licence (HR) or above (HC or MC) is exactly the same licence required to drive a bus. You only need an additional passenger transport vehicle driver authorisation (PTD) which is simply an application and then being issued by the department of transport if you are of acceptable character and meet the medical requirements. Non of those ridiculous claims that a bus is allegedly entirely different to a heavy rigid vehicle and, as such, requires a totally seperate test and licence. That rule is nothing more than a money spinner in the UK.
And another bit of info. In Australia you are covered by the Federal award system of pay. This means you are paid by the hour and must be paid weekly. None of those rip off all inclusive annualised salaries paid monthly like they have in the UK. Time and a half for the first 2 hours after 7.6 hours and double time after that as well as double time all day on a Sunday. That's not to say that there hasn't been numerous cases brought before the Fair Work Ombudsman of employers (particularly rural employers) who think that that rules don't apply to them and that if they pay a slightly higher basic rate, then this somehow gets them out of having to pay the appropriate overtime rates. It does not. Employers who don't pay in accordance with the Fair Work Act face significant penalties as well as having to rectify the underpayments should a complaint be made against them.
I've spent 7 years in the UK (Stoke-on-Trent), including the biggest health mess in modern times and left 2 years ago because of family reasons. Most people I met were kind a genuine. I never felt like an outsider there. Also, I loved how well the retail staff treats costumers at any store you enter. At work, I always recieved enough help during training periods. But it's definitely true that socialising isn't the easiest thing to do, regardless of origin or ethnicity. And yeah, some services, are agonisingly expensive in comparison to my homeland. Car insurance, as you've mentioned, is the best example of that - at least 7-8x pricier. I've been lucky to be there, but with the main goal of generating savings, it's no longer worth it to me. Minimum hourly wage keeps rising year-by-year, just nowhere near as fast as fuel, food and energy prices. Good luck in Australia, take care.
Most dentists refuse to do NHS work because apparently it doesn't pay .... Absolute disgrace and so far the government have done nothing about it. I've paid contributions for 51 years but now some of my teeth are breaking I'm told I've got to pay for it myself ... So do I get a refund from the NHS for paying 50 years for nothing?
Australia is a fantastic country! You will love it! People are similar to England and Ireland, but more laid back. You will not miss anything about the UK.
Australian cost of living is very high too. House prices in Melbourne and Sydney are huge. I do understand why people would want to leave the UK, though. I'm over 60 now, sadly...😢
That’s what 10 million more people in 20 years does for you. Everything costs more, but no expansion in food production, infrastructure, industry, energy, housing or services so no-one has any time to do their job property.
im 62 now i use to leave the UK every monday for greece loved it did it for 28 years ,never botherd me once and the money was good .but coming back here at weekend is mad its so dear its gone through the roof .
Left uk start of 2023 for much more consistent and nicer climate , which also brings extra benefits as your surrounded by happier people vs the mood hoovers in UK. Best decision ever! Wishing you all the best for the relocation. 😊
I think the problem with our climate is that we don't have proper winters anymore. If it was cold and dry and say snowy or sunny, it would be better than all of the cloud and the rainy spells. I'm from London, one of the drier parts of the country.😊
the problem with services is mostly because of uncontrolled immigration though. So, the way to sort that out was to control the net migration. What happened with dentistry is they changed the way they were paid. but allowed them to choose to be private or NHS.. so naturally they went with the money. I guess they'd say NHS isnt profitable.
I moved to Thailand in 2006, not ideal for a young family and pretty hot, you wouldn't want to sit in a park very long here but it's the best location for a single guy. I went to Perth about 15 years ago, it's very clean and good climate, bit quiet but not bad if you have a family to keep you busy.
I am 35 years old and left the UK around 8 years ago. I moved to New Zealand and managed to get a permanent residency visa, so I can come-and-go as I wish. I am a fully qualified and experienced brewer/winemaker. I have very recently come back to see my parents and work a vintage while over here. ... I was considering staying but having seen what this place has become while I have been away that is not happening barring a disaster in the family. I will book a flight home after the vintage is done, spend Christmas with my parents since I've come all this way. After that, in the new year... I'm off again back to NZ to get my old life back. This country has fallen, and no government can fix it. If you are young and able it is time to be brave and venture out into the world.
@@truckitprayle Aussie is just a 4-5 hour flight to Auckland, NZ. It’s not quite like having access to the European continent but given your profession you might be fed up with Europe anyway. Well worth a trip to NZ. Australian Dollar is stronger so currency conversion favours you.
I was guessing new zealand or canada, but australia it is, i thought maybe europe, spain but all of them have their problems, good luck with your new life and enjoy the new lifestyle,.
Australians are not tolerant they are very vocal and not open minded they are friendly but don't stand for nonsense unlike British people are weak and will not speak out and whing. Australia has a problem with high rents and inflation is catching up with the UK .
Country's on its knee mate your doing the right thing for you and your family. If u recall on past comments I said me and my wife are thinking new zealand next September. Need to get the ball rolling with sponserships any advice u can give me ?
@@truckitprayle yea I've started emailing 3 or 4 no reply as of yet I'll keep at it. A year in September is our aim to be out of this country. My thoughts exactly same as yours mate 👍. Wish you all the best, looking forward to the content abroad 👍🚛💨
Australia 🦘 belongs to the Aborigines and New zealand belongs to the Moari whites are all invaders from England and ireland from convicts to pomes. Your a immigrant in their land.
POINT TWO I moved to Australia in 1977. !970 to approx 2010 was THE best time in human history in many ways and I was fortunate to benefit from that time I had in Aus. However, while Aus still looks good and still is beautiful and the friendliest of people, 2024 is a very different picture! Anyone thinking of going there needs to do SERIOUS RESEARCH on today's realities! There are some specific issues that will destroy anyone having not done their homework!
Good luck Sam mate. We loved Perth. We are looking to move to Brisbane if all goes well. Don’t think we have enough points for an offshore 189 visa but we maybe able to get a sponsored 482 visa then go from there.
I left the uk to move to a small island called Bermuda 14 years ago I visit the uk every year and when I see how bad it has became with poverty and bad services like doctors it’s very upsetting
The fact of the matter is that we've been systematically betrayed by politicians that have no loyalty to native British folk. They're more interested in handing out benefits to alleged asylum seekers and swarthy immigrants, regardless of wether they come legally on an airplane or illegally on a dingy. People who work for a living are punished heavily, whilst people who can't be bothered to get out of bed and malinger with fake illnesses get free rides. The housing estate I grew up on is now 90% Pakistani, whose inhabitants are openly hostile towards white people that come to visit their elderly relatives, I know this because I have experienced it myself. The UK government supports causes and issues I have no interest in; wether that be the expensive war in Ukraine that we fund, or LGBT propaganda, or nonsensical green energy policies that have no bearing in reality. On top of all of this, we're taxed 40% to 50k (the highest amount since WW2), the state pension age will be well in excess of 70 in a couple of decades, and we've all had to live with crippling inflation and poor interest rates for 5 years now, whilst for most people wages haven't gone up in close to a decade. All this whilst we have homeless veterans on the street, young people who can't afford houses, a piss poor education system that teaches people nothing, and crippling debt for anyone who wants to pursue University. The fact of the matter is that Britain is a country in serious decline, and we aren't what we once were. They key thing to remember is that all of this could have been prevented, but we've been sold out by elites who're more interested in turning the UK into an offshore banking island for the mega-wealthy, rather than a haven for normal people. The country I grew up in like a knight that's been killed on horseback; still in his armour, still on his horse, but slumped over and dead, yet to have fallen to the ground. You leave to Australia, matey. And don't look back. I married a South African bird, and live in NZ now. I'm much happier here.
The last thing I expected was you being a lorry driver: you speak so clearly, beautifully sounding voice, even your accent is so pleasant to hear . None of the drivers I have met have ever spoken like this 😂 Anyway, wish you the best of luck 🤞 mate. Well done, You’ll have a great life in Australia 🇦🇺😉
Well I did the same as you but 30years ago and I live probably close if you are heading south of Perth. Lovely people, many, many poms , great weather and fishing, I could get you a truck drivers job tomorrow but finding a property to rent is almost impossible and house choice is slim as so many have migrated here ,we are full! Now, have the same issues with doctors etc but hand on heart ,my kids would not have had the opportunities in Blighty as they have had here. Welcome, she’ll be rite!
Has your partner got a country position there or have you found something? If the position has accomodation then problem solved. I don’t know the area but I live in Quindalup 1.45 hours away. Country people are the salt of the earth and there will be a noticeable slow down of pace of life and guess what , it’s rained a bucket full the last week or so but a few more weeks and it’s all over. When you have settled in you be glad to see the next rains. Crazy but true. Busselton for truck work but best to find local if possible as commute would be painfull. One for your partner. We had been hear a couple of months and I came home to find my wife in tears telling me she wanted to go home. Between the tears she had a speeding fine! Happy Days.
Good luck with the move & Int be far behind you. Australia is amazing you will love it. Your health your wealth so chase them on that issue as blood test will find most issues.
People are too naive to voted in labour and many are scared voting reform because they don't want to be seem as racist when many have racist mindsets in the UK.
Good choice, WA is the best place on earth. Left UK 34 years ago and never regretted it. Still heaps of opportunity here for hard working people. Good luck. I'll watch your progress.
So you finally made it down under on a long holiday weekend in WA (not a holiday in the other states). I got zero jetlag when I arrived in the UK at the beginning of August but it oddly hit me when I flew back into Perth 3 weeks ago. Looking forward to your first aussie video.
@@truckitprayle My boy slept for 13 hours on our first night back in WA the other week but that actually did him no favours for getting up for school the following day. We eventually managed to get him there for 10.45am.
I'm about to go in the HGV industry living in Japan as I'm a mixed Brit living in Japan, and after gaining 1-2 years experience here I'm planning on moving back to the UK (as drivers are paid next to nothing here with very little time off) to get into trucking there. If I like the job I'll be getting in the UK I'll probably stay, but if not, I'll be moving elsewhere to places like Australia. The NHS situation is a bit concerning in the UK, but would you consider going back there to be a bad move? I just simply want to earn more and have more time off, which is hard in Japan.
There are definitely worse places in the world you could go to than the UK, however it definitely is going in one direction and I can't see it improving under this new government. Of course I could be totally wrong and it might be all sunshine and rainbows but unfortunately I doubt it.
@@truckitprayle Makes sense...it seems we all have issues with our gov as prices here in Japan are going crazy with nothing being done about it. The housing prices and inflation in Australia is a bit worrying too as well, but I guess as long as you don't live in any of the major cities you could cut down on living expenses.
I got similar situation in uk, morgage on the house is reaching £1400 a month lucky me i got some £20000 savings (4-5 years more and i have money to pay directly the flat) and £2650 spending on a terminator figure 😂 first movie arnold from the police scene. My woman is polish and she reachs end of the month with £145 only. Lucky me i can save £1000 monthly. We been discussed to buy a nice flat in Poland close to a big town, 20-30min drive with the car, they talk english around weather good no more mortgage council tax and other bullshits. Council tax is a robbery in uk for what? My job all times with changes management is crap she dont see me monday to friday only weekends company dont care to keep me on day shift... If change job will be worse as other firms pay less and more hours to work, agency is not safe as can be quiet times and no work = no morgage to pay big trouble. Want to have my flat something around 50000€ no morgage to pay a easy job even if not lorry driving can be factory work and have more time to be free at home. Kids in uk must receive lots of vaccines otherwise they get ban to go school doctor or any other places, who knows what they make them but that is not good and other thing they teach them to be gay, lesbian change gender this is insane dont want have baby in this country lol
@@yoyoyoyo-qv5hu on salaryes not yet, cars more expensive than uk. The important thing is to have a property payd in full, in uk is not possible that unless make a bank robery or win the billion pounds lottery (fuck knows when and how) sometimes life is shit but we need manage the shit to make good life inside it
I sold up and retired early, 61 moved to Poland, best decision I made, obviously it's easier if are married to a Pole. Life in Poland is good, the country's beautiful, from the mountains in the south to the Baltic coast in the north. The weather is seasonal so nice warm summers, but cold winters, as I said seasonal. Food prices are getting more expensive but still cheaper than the UK, our council tax is about £150 for the year, water and electricity cheaper, gas getting more expensive, petrol slightly cheaper than UK, less cars on the road, driving a pleasure, just bought a new Renault clio, prices a little cheaper than UK, about £1000. Go for it oh and learn the language, it's very difficult but possible if you put the effort in, I'm still learning after 4 years here.
I can get a doctor or dentist the same day in New Zealand but we do pay for the appointment (about 25 quid) beer is more expensive over here the cost of living is definitely better in Aussie, also you won’t have to use the stupid digi card everything is hand written and slightly more flexible
@@truckitprayle typically not, around 30 pound (I'm a junior (resident) doctor). For the sake of transparency I'm also moving to Oz in September because I can't get a training job in the NHS to progress to consultancy 😂, however mine will most likely only be a couple of years
Hi Sam, thanks for your insightful videos. I’m considering getting into a HGV career, do you still recommend it? How did your move away come around? Thank you!
The move is all happening should be going September time mate, but yes I would recommend it, I love the job and probably always will but for me it's more about moving away for the sake of my family.
Don't worry about missing the culture and british sense of humour, that all went long ago. Do it before it's too late,you dont want to look back in 20 years and think,what if.give it your best shot,youcan always come back.not . Good 🤞
Yep dentists are underpaid and overworked if they are on the nhs and they are pushed to leave it eventually then get blamed for not working in the nhs ...you see around 35 patient a day with no time to actually do anything to them and they get piled up ...patients who get appointments are in for silly reasons or repetitive check ups while others are being refused to get registered with real problems just simply because clinics are contracted with the nhs for limited number of patients that they keep seeing over and over again ...its rediculous and dentists are fed up and all..leaving
There’s still at least one positive thing about the UK, when compared to my country (Russia): you can leave it. I don’t have this luxury, neither the dosh to start a new life elsewhere. So, I guess the point is: no matter how bad it is, it can always get worse.☹
I literally screamed when you said Australia. It’s where i want to go, when you do arrive please give us an insight in how it happened incase others may want to too. One thing i must as much as i loved the video i could relate to jus feel the pain in your eyes you’ve been holding back for a lot of years trying to convince the country’s not the problem but yav packed in it decided to remove yourself from the problem as its not being solved. 👏🏽All the best Prayle
Absolutely screaming for heavy vehicle drivers here in Australia, especially WA. Was on a plane this week with a guy who flies from the east coast to the west coast every month, their that desperate. I'm assuming you're talking about Geraldton. You'll have no problems getting a well paid job. If you search youtube there's a guy who left the UK as a HGV driver who's now driving road trains. Good luck.
@truckitprayle Me, I'm off to Brazil next year for good. Married a Brazilian lady. It may be a bit on the dangerous side, but I will not be bumping into any of the so-and-sos there.

I moved to Aus from England in 2009 and have never looked back.
Went back in May for the first time in 7 years and couldn’t believe how bad it’s got.
Australia’s not perfect but it’s very safe and a good place for a young family.
Hope everything works out for you in WA, plenty of long drives out there for you trucking.
All the best mate 👍
Well that's reassuring I hope we like it as much as you 😊
Yes!! Same happened to me when I had strange bleeding. Rang and they literally told me “we have no appointments for the foreseeable future”
My youngest is brain damaged due to a late diagnosis of galactosaemia as a baby. It’s awful and very scary living here now.
I hate this country with a passion.
Wishing you and your family the best of luck and loads of happiness for the future!!
Thanks appreciate it hope you and your family are well now aswell!
Good video mate,I also decided to pack things up and leave uk for good,I’ve been to a lot of places but never ever seen such a depressing miserable weather all year round.also it feels so unsafe now.
Thanks mate.
Since they started messing with the weather we used to have good summers in the 70s, 80s etc.
Hearing alot about this latly luckily I'm in Australia now...
Just be aware that house prices in AUS are very high, im about an hour out of Sydney and a 3 bed house is £420k, now that might seem a good or bad deal depending where your coming from in the UK. The big benefit though is we moved over here in January and doing the exact same job for the exact same company but over here, went from £40k to £90k, so overall we have more money in our pockets, plus its mid winter here and its 18c, thats not such a bad place to be.
Cheers for the advice mate, where I going is quite far away from the main cities so relative to our house prices where I currently live isn't bad at all.
I'm just looking forward to not being so close to a big city and having a more peaceful way of life.
House prices have increased in Aus but they are still cheaper than UK. You get much more for your cash in Aus too and much easier to get detached which is 300k minimum in UK. I moved from London to Toowoomba as a Nurse and got my house just a few months ago for equivalent of 280k gbp and that was detached with very large garden not like the tiny chicken boxes in UK with your neighbors right on top of you. Stay away from capital cities just like most counties. In Australia you still have the option to go rural and get cheap places, that option doesn't exist anymore in the UK even rural is expensive. Plus you get paid much more in Aus and the weather to boot. There is NO contest.
For £420k where I’m from in the UK at best we’d get a small 3 bed semi detached. I’m about 2 hours from London. To afford a nice big family home you have to live at least 4-5 hours from London.
@@Sarah-ft8jr we have your exact 3 bed semi in the midlands, I bought it end of 2021 for £157k, just shows how much location makes a difference to potential quality of life by not having a big mortgage
It's very sad that so many our best young people are heading off, leaving family and friends. I wish you all the very best. I lived in Spain for 14 years, not on the Costas but working in and around Madrid with a Spanish family. I came back so my son would get English and other reasons but the years over there were the best in my life. Living in a different country is very enriching and you have the huge bonus of the language. If it's not for you then New Zealand and its people have always impressed me.
Had to be done I'm afraid the UK is no longer the great country it once was.
I'm 44 and would leave the UK tomorrow if I could. I have no reason why I wish to spend the rest of my life this horrible little country.
Immigration is my biggest concern because it is destroying the country and eradicating the British way of life.
There are no longer opportunities in the UK and the quality of life is pitiful.
My advice to anyone that can get out of the UK for a better life, do it. Life is too short. Unfortunately, I am stuck here and it is making me ill.
I wish you all the best in your new life.
Cheers fella
Everyone miserable and racist and hostile in the UK tolerance and compassion has gone .People in the UK don't have their own minds and are sheeps.
@Wayne-fn1sw people are racist because us Brits have had enough of the mass immigration that is destroying our country. Everyone is miserable for the same reason.
So in your opinion immigration is destroying the country and your solution is to immigrate to another country? Ironic
Talk about immigration lol what’s happening to England 🏴
All the best with the move - looking forward some vlogs from down under 👍
You hit the nail on the head with what you said there and I couldn't agree more. My wife and I have spoken about moving abroad a few times now.
So what's holding you back?
th-cam.com/video/18--X_ryazo/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Good luck. I'm too old now but i totally get anyone with a young family to make the move . They'll always be things better over here but they're becoming few and far between.
Cheers mate appreciate
My daughter and her partner are both teachers and looking to leave , the education system is a shambles and most of the kids are hard work to say the least.
Let me know if you need any help I can point them in the right direction.
@@truckitprayle cheers , but they have already done their research and also know others that have done the same
Hi Sam. I fully support your decision to leave the UK. I'm a British citizen living in Oman since 2018. Initially, I missed the UK due to nostalgia and emotional ties, but my parents had their reasons for moving-my dad's terrible work experience and my mum's family issues. They both believed the UK wasn't the right environment to raise us. Over time, I came to understand their perspective. I turned my feelings of missing the UK into enjoying life in Oman by making new friends, enjoying the food, and embracing the peacefulness. Oman is also much safer compared to the UK, which has been a huge benefit. It takes time to acclimatize to a new country, but it's worth it.
I wish you and your family the best of luck wherever your new path takes you all.
Best regards.
Thanks mate I appreciate it, life is what you make it where ever you are I guess but you can't change the weather!
Oman is full of immigrants and yet is safe , is it because there are less brits ?
Good luck for the future Sam to you and the family, your young enough to make this move, Yes it will be tough especially in the First year or so, Look forward to seeing how you get on, 👍
Cheers fella appreciate the support 👍
I work with a few British Xpats in the US. Good people that follow immigration law. Happy to have them.
Why are they ex pats and not emigrants ?
Good luck to you and your family! I am Ukrainian and relocated to the UK in 2015 for work. After obtaining citizenship, we visited Sydney and Melbourne and traveled around those areas in January 2024. I would definitely agree that Australia is a better choice, and if we were 10 years younger, we would have stayed there. Due to the war in Ukraine, we cannot return home, so we decided to work remotely from Albania and Spain instead of staying in the UK. The reasons are the same: depressing weather, high cost of living, and especially food prices and quality. In Australia, the food is amazing! My ex-boss relocated there and wants to retire, but he is belgian so I guess they have the same shitty weather so Australia wins again))) While we have been visiting New Zealand, our taxi driver was telling that from time to time he was travelling to AU for some truck driving contracts as there is high demand so wish you to find a great company and enjoy driving there!
Thanks dude appreciate it, I have got 3 friends that have moved to Australia all different parts and all 3 have said they would not come back here. So that's good enough reason alone for me.
I look forward to making new friends and content whilst I'm there.
I'm a Brit living in Austria. If you look in Google, cost of living is (Vienna to London) 28% cheaper to live in Austria (I live in the countryside so cheaper there). As a pensioner I could not afford to live in the UK.
Yeah mate, 💯 we are here now and I found it alot cheaper.
I’m from Austria but have been living in the UK since 1996. The UK has sadly turned into a dump. My wife is British, and I’d love to move back to Austria but not so easy as my wife’s family are all here. I’ll keep trying to persuade her. Fingers crossed she’ll come round to my plan.
Enjoy living outside Vienna.
Hi
I am a 63 year young Dane.
I recently talked to a guy from NZ. I know it is not AUS, but close. He told me that over NZ a big ozone hole have taken residens. It is resulting in that you have to use a lot of sun block, several times a day. He also told me skin cancer is way higher than the rest of the world. The clouds you hate, are your friends. Just take it into your calculation. Western AUS is quite a long way from NZ, so it might be fine. Good luck.
Thanks for the tip I will make sure I'm covered and look like a ghost 🤣
wear a hat
@@abrin5508 It looks damn silly, with hats on your arms and hands. 🙂
@@Gert-DK they have sleeves for that
All the best Sam...you're doing the right thing mate!!! Enjoy 😊
Cheers fella 👍
Wish you well buddy, what you say is spot on and will only get worse, we're only peasants working for the establishment who only care about themselves which ever party is in power .
Another bit of info for you. In all states in Australia, a heavy rigid truck licence (HR) or above (HC or MC) is exactly the same licence required to drive a bus. You only need an additional passenger transport vehicle driver authorisation (PTD) which is simply an application and then being issued by the department of transport if you are of acceptable character and meet the medical requirements. Non of those ridiculous claims that a bus is allegedly entirely different to a heavy rigid vehicle and, as such, requires a totally seperate test and licence. That rule is nothing more than a money spinner in the UK.
Nice one appreciate it mate.
And another bit of info. In Australia you are covered by the Federal award system of pay. This means you are paid by the hour and must be paid weekly. None of those rip off all inclusive annualised salaries paid monthly like they have in the UK. Time and a half for the first 2 hours after 7.6 hours and double time after that as well as double time all day on a Sunday. That's not to say that there hasn't been numerous cases brought before the Fair Work Ombudsman of employers (particularly rural employers) who think that that rules don't apply to them and that if they pay a slightly higher basic rate, then this somehow gets them out of having to pay the appropriate overtime rates. It does not. Employers who don't pay in accordance with the Fair Work Act face significant penalties as well as having to rectify the underpayments should a complaint be made against them.
Awesome cheers 🫡
I've spent 7 years in the UK (Stoke-on-Trent), including the biggest health mess in modern times and left 2 years ago because of family reasons. Most people I met were kind a genuine. I never felt like an outsider there. Also, I loved how well the retail staff treats costumers at any store you enter. At work, I always recieved enough help during training periods. But it's definitely true that socialising isn't the easiest thing to do, regardless of origin or ethnicity. And yeah, some services, are agonisingly expensive in comparison to my homeland. Car insurance, as you've mentioned, is the best example of that - at least 7-8x pricier. I've been lucky to be there, but with the main goal of generating savings, it's no longer worth it to me. Minimum hourly wage keeps rising year-by-year, just nowhere near as fast as fuel, food and energy prices. Good luck in Australia, take care.
Thanks mate appreciate the support 👍
If you don't go - you won't know.
Best of luck!
Exactly that mate 👏
All the best Sam, I wished I had done it years ago,
Cheers dude!
Most dentists refuse to do NHS work because apparently it doesn't pay .... Absolute disgrace and so far the government have done nothing about it. I've paid contributions for 51 years but now some of my teeth are breaking I'm told I've got to pay for it myself ... So do I get a refund from the NHS for paying 50 years for nothing?
Yeah that a joke mate 😮💨
Australia is a fantastic country! You will love it! People are similar to England and Ireland, but more laid back. You will not miss anything about the UK.
I'm here and I already don't miss anything other than family!
Heading the way of the UK, just 10 to 20 years behind though
Australian cost of living is very high too. House prices in Melbourne and Sydney are huge. I do understand why people would want to leave the UK, though. I'm over 60 now, sadly...😢
That’s what 10 million more people in 20 years does for you. Everything costs more, but no expansion in food production, infrastructure, industry, energy, housing or services so no-one has any time to do their job property.
💯 mate
im 62 now i use to leave the UK every monday for greece loved it did it for 28 years ,never botherd me once and the money was good .but coming back here at weekend is mad its so dear its gone through the roof .
Left uk start of 2023 for much more consistent and nicer climate , which also brings extra benefits as your surrounded by happier people vs the mood hoovers in UK.
Best decision ever!
Wishing you all the best for the relocation. 😊
Yeah I hear that mate!
Driving trucks in Western Australia should be quite a culture shift.
I'm counting on it 🤙
heading down same route as UK ... just a few years behind. Very expensive to live and over regulated so best to find another country.
GOOD LUCK 😊 looking forward to seeing your videos
Thanks 👍 😊
Good move, have already experienced as come for study, so better to go ahead rather than westing a time.
Couldn’t agree more, exactly how i’ve been feeling for a while. Good luck
I think the problem with our climate is that we don't have proper winters anymore. If it was cold and dry and say snowy or sunny, it would be better than all of the cloud and the rainy spells. I'm from London, one of the drier parts of the country.😊
the problem with services is mostly because of uncontrolled immigration though. So, the way to sort that out was to control the net migration.
What happened with dentistry is they changed the way they were paid. but allowed them to choose to be private or NHS.. so naturally they went with the money. I guess they'd say NHS isnt profitable.
Good decision..Oz has weather and spirit if good if ignore politics.
Good luck with it all but trust me aus is not cheap at all
I moved to Thailand in 2006, not ideal for a young family and pretty hot, you wouldn't want to sit in a park very long here but it's the best location for a single guy. I went to Perth about 15 years ago, it's very clean and good climate, bit quiet but not bad if you have a family to keep you busy.
Nice one, so far loving it mate had some nice weather this week aswell 👍
@@truckitprayle Awesome, congrats on your move.
I am 35 years old and left the UK around 8 years ago.
I moved to New Zealand and managed to get a permanent residency visa, so I can come-and-go as I wish.
I am a fully qualified and experienced brewer/winemaker.
I have very recently come back to see my parents and work a vintage while over here.
...
I was considering staying but having seen what this place has become while I have been away that is not happening barring a disaster in the family.
I will book a flight home after the vintage is done, spend Christmas with my parents since I've come all this way.
After that, in the new year... I'm off again back to NZ to get my old life back.
This country has fallen, and no government can fix it.
If you are young and able it is time to be brave and venture out into the world.
💯 mate, I have a strong feeling I will look back at this being the best decision of my life!
@@truckitprayle Aussie is just a 4-5 hour flight to Auckland, NZ. It’s not quite like having access to the European continent but given your profession you might be fed up with Europe anyway.
Well worth a trip to NZ. Australian Dollar is stronger so currency conversion favours you.
Nice one appreciate the advice!
I was guessing new zealand or canada, but australia it is, i thought maybe europe, spain but all of them have their problems, good luck with your new life and enjoy the new lifestyle,.
Thanks mate!
Good luck with it but as far as I know Australia is also very expensive
Australians are not tolerant they are very vocal and not open minded they are friendly but don't stand for nonsense unlike British people are weak and will not speak out and whing. Australia has a problem with high rents and inflation is catching up with the UK .
Out of the capital cities is much cheaper.
Country's on its knee mate your doing the right thing for you and your family. If u recall on past comments I said me and my wife are thinking new zealand next September. Need to get the ball rolling with sponserships any advice u can give me ?
I heard they are more in need of truckers there, id try contact some companies and find out if there are any sponsorships you can do.
@@truckitprayle yea I've started emailing 3 or 4 no reply as of yet I'll keep at it. A year in September is our aim to be out of this country. My thoughts exactly same as yours mate 👍. Wish you all the best, looking forward to the content abroad 👍🚛💨
Australia 🦘 belongs to the Aborigines and New zealand belongs to the Moari whites are all invaders from England and ireland from convicts to pomes. Your a immigrant in their land.
Good to know your history 🤙
Wish you good luck.
It is going to be hard for the first 3 months until you get uses to the new enviroment...
But after that you will be ok.
Cheers dude appreciate it!
POINT TWO
I moved to Australia in 1977. !970 to approx 2010 was THE
best time in human history in many ways and I was fortunate
to benefit from that time I had in Aus.
However, while Aus still looks good and still is beautiful and
the friendliest of people, 2024 is a very different picture!
Anyone thinking of going there needs to do SERIOUS RESEARCH
on today's realities! There are some specific issues that
will destroy anyone having not done their homework!
Good luck Sam mate. We loved Perth. We are looking to move to Brisbane if all goes well. Don’t think we have enough points for an offshore 189 visa but we maybe able to get a sponsored 482 visa then go from there.
Yeah 482 is what we are going on but I know it's harder to get in places like nsw and Queens, alot of the regional areas in WA are alot easier.
I left the uk to move to a small island called Bermuda 14 years ago I visit the uk every year and when I see how bad it has became with poverty and bad services like doctors it’s very upsetting
Yeah it really is going down hill fast unfortunately 😕
Life is too short to be
Cold . And the sun in Florida is fantastic.
Always considered florid but with the politics I'm not sure if it will be the safest bet right now haha
Great mate
I would go to oz if I was younger
Good luck
Good Luck chief.
Nowt here for me any more here either.
Best of luck in your future Sam. Miss you big guy.
Thanks
The fact of the matter is that we've been systematically betrayed by politicians that have no loyalty to native British folk. They're more interested in handing out benefits to alleged asylum seekers and swarthy immigrants, regardless of wether they come legally on an airplane or illegally on a dingy. People who work for a living are punished heavily, whilst people who can't be bothered to get out of bed and malinger with fake illnesses get free rides.
The housing estate I grew up on is now 90% Pakistani, whose inhabitants are openly hostile towards white people that come to visit their elderly relatives, I know this because I have experienced it myself. The UK government supports causes and issues I have no interest in; wether that be the expensive war in Ukraine that we fund, or LGBT propaganda, or nonsensical green energy policies that have no bearing in reality. On top of all of this, we're taxed 40% to 50k (the highest amount since WW2), the state pension age will be well in excess of 70 in a couple of decades, and we've all had to live with crippling inflation and poor interest rates for 5 years now, whilst for most people wages haven't gone up in close to a decade. All this whilst we have homeless veterans on the street, young people who can't afford houses, a piss poor education system that teaches people nothing, and crippling debt for anyone who wants to pursue University.
The fact of the matter is that Britain is a country in serious decline, and we aren't what we once were. They key thing to remember is that all of this could have been prevented, but we've been sold out by elites who're more interested in turning the UK into an offshore banking island for the mega-wealthy, rather than a haven for normal people.
The country I grew up in like a knight that's been killed on horseback; still in his armour, still on his horse, but slumped over and dead, yet to have fallen to the ground.
You leave to Australia, matey. And don't look back. I married a South African bird, and live in NZ now. I'm much happier here.
Cheers for the well wishes mate, I do try stay out of the politics side of it but I understand what you are saying. 👍
I don't recognise your view of the UK

Anyway, wish you the best of luck 🤞 mate. Well done, You’ll have a great life in Australia 🇦🇺😉
Haha thank you very much appreciate it! And I will certainly try.
Hope you've made plans for Perth Australia. Lorry Drivers 100K +++
I left the UK in 2003 never looked back I live in Normandy
Well I did the same as you but 30years ago and I live probably close if you are heading south of Perth. Lovely people, many, many poms , great weather and fishing, I could get you a truck drivers job tomorrow but finding a property to rent is almost impossible and house choice is slim as so many have migrated here ,we are full! Now, have the same issues with doctors etc but hand on heart ,my kids would not have had the opportunities in Blighty as they have had here. Welcome, she’ll be rite!
Thanks mate appreciate the honesty 👍
Are you heading Busselton way ?
Yeah not to far from there mate majimup.
Has your partner got a country position there or have you found something? If the position has accomodation then problem solved. I don’t know the area but I live in Quindalup 1.45 hours away. Country people are the salt of the earth and there will be a noticeable slow down of pace of life and guess what , it’s rained a bucket full the last week or so but a few more weeks and it’s all over.
When you have settled in you be glad to see the next rains. Crazy but true. Busselton for truck work but best to find local if possible as commute would be painfull. One for your partner. We had been hear a couple of months and I came home to find my wife in tears telling me she wanted to go home. Between the tears she had a speeding fine! Happy Days.
Yeah my misses has secured a job and the teaching Poole she is in sort accommodation and everything.
Good luck with the move & Int be far behind you.
Australia is amazing you will love it.
Your health your wealth so chase them on that issue as blood test will find most issues.
Your doing the best thing you have got to think of your family go for it theres nothing here no more
Thanks mate, as I sit here in perth reading this at 2am in the morning jet lagged makes me smile haha
Wow! Western Australia!! Interesting.....
Country's finished mate politics won't fix it either.
Agreed 👍
Too late for that. We could have changed course is the 2010s, but a decade of Tory rule (not like Labour are any better) has really screwed things.
People are too naive to voted in labour and many are scared voting reform because they don't want to be seem as racist when many have racist mindsets in the UK.
Good choice, WA is the best place on earth. Left UK 34 years ago and never regretted it. Still heaps of opportunity here for hard working people. Good luck. I'll watch your progress.
Cheers dude!
Left the UK a few years ago… never going back
Where did you go mate?
So you finally made it down under on a long holiday weekend in WA (not a holiday in the other states). I got zero jetlag when I arrived in the UK at the beginning of August but it oddly hit me when I flew back into Perth 3 weeks ago. Looking forward to your first aussie video.
Yes mate we made it, struggling with jet lag with the girls but getting there!
@@truckitprayle My boy slept for 13 hours on our first night back in WA the other week but that actually did him no favours for getting up for school the following day. We eventually managed to get him there for 10.45am.

Where you off to mate?
Goodman 🤙🤙 Do it.
Backing you all way 👍👍
Cool decision. Considering the recent incidents and what you’ve mentioned, as a migrant, I’m also planning to leave the UK soon. Good luck!
Where to?
@@haroonhussain259 Look at the map; the world is vast, and there are still places where one can live as a true human being.
I'm about to go in the HGV industry living in Japan as I'm a mixed Brit living in Japan, and after gaining 1-2 years experience here I'm planning on moving back to the UK (as drivers are paid next to nothing here with very little time off) to get into trucking there. If I like the job I'll be getting in the UK I'll probably stay, but if not, I'll be moving elsewhere to places like Australia.
The NHS situation is a bit concerning in the UK, but would you consider going back there to be a bad move? I just simply want to earn more and have more time off, which is hard in Japan.
There are definitely worse places in the world you could go to than the UK, however it definitely is going in one direction and I can't see it improving under this new government.
Of course I could be totally wrong and it might be all sunshine and rainbows but unfortunately I doubt it.
@@truckitprayle Makes sense...it seems we all have issues with our gov as prices here in Japan are going crazy with nothing being done about it. The housing prices and inflation in Australia is a bit worrying too as well, but I guess as long as you don't live in any of the major cities you could cut down on living expenses.
So where are you going/where did you go? Moving abroad is easier said than done!
I'm In western Australia mate.

I think you can mate not 100% sure how it works though.
3 qid a pint where i live good pint aswell up north
I got similar situation in uk, morgage on the house is reaching £1400 a month lucky me i got some £20000 savings (4-5 years more and i have money to pay directly the flat) and £2650 spending on a terminator figure 😂 first movie arnold from the police scene. My woman is polish and she reachs end of the month with £145 only. Lucky me i can save £1000 monthly. We been discussed to buy a nice flat in Poland close to a big town, 20-30min drive with the car, they talk english around weather good no more mortgage council tax and other bullshits. Council tax is a robbery in uk for what? My job all times with changes management is crap she dont see me monday to friday only weekends company dont care to keep me on day shift... If change job will be worse as other firms pay less and more hours to work, agency is not safe as can be quiet times and no work = no morgage to pay big trouble. Want to have my flat something around 50000€ no morgage to pay a easy job even if not lorry driving can be factory work and have more time to be free at home.
Kids in uk must receive lots of vaccines otherwise they get ban to go school doctor or any other places, who knows what they make them but that is not good and other thing they teach them to be gay, lesbian change gender this is insane dont want have baby in this country lol
Poland's fast overtaking the UK I've heard, probably a better standard of living their right now, go for it!
@@yoyoyoyo-qv5hu on salaryes not yet, cars more expensive than uk.

@@yoyoyoyo-qv5hu 100% agree!
I sold up and retired early, 61 moved to Poland, best decision I made, obviously it's easier if are married to a Pole.
Life in Poland is good, the country's beautiful, from the mountains in the south to the Baltic coast in the north. The weather is seasonal so nice warm summers, but cold winters, as I said seasonal. Food prices are getting more expensive but still cheaper than the UK, our council tax is about £150 for the year, water and electricity cheaper, gas getting more expensive, petrol slightly cheaper than UK, less cars on the road, driving a pleasure, just bought a new Renault clio, prices a little cheaper than UK, about £1000.
Go for it oh and learn the language, it's very difficult but possible if you put the effort in, I'm still learning after 4 years here.
I think truckers are in demand here in New Zealand
Yeah im in Australia now mate but appreciate it 👍
Left in 83, it must be hell back there.
More than you can imagine lol
I can get a doctor or dentist the same day in New Zealand but we do pay for the appointment (about 25 quid) beer is more expensive over here the cost of living is definitely better in Aussie, also you won’t have to use the stupid digi card everything is hand written and slightly more flexible
I don't mind paying something if I know I'm gona get a half decent service you know what I mean.

Yep dentists are underpaid and overworked if they are on the nhs and they are pushed to leave it eventually then get blamed for not working in the nhs ...you see around 35 patient a day with no time to actually do anything to them and they get piled up ...patients who get appointments are in for silly reasons or repetitive check ups while others are being refused to get registered with real problems just simply because clinics are contracted with the nhs for limited number of patients that they keep seeing over and over again ...its rediculous and dentists are fed up and all..leaving
There’s still at least one positive thing about the UK, when compared to my country (Russia): you can leave it. I don’t have this luxury, neither the dosh to start a new life elsewhere. So, I guess the point is: no matter how bad it is, it can always get worse.☹
Sorry to hear that 😞
I literally screamed when you said Australia. It’s where i want to go, when you do arrive please give us an insight in how it happened incase others may want to too. One thing i must as much as i loved the video i could relate to jus feel the pain in your eyes you’ve been holding back for a lot of years trying to convince the country’s not the problem but yav packed in it decided to remove yourself from the problem as its not being solved. 👏🏽All the best Prayle
Cheers pal, yeah I intend to vlog the whole thing so stay tuned 👍
@@truckitprayle Fantastic i’m all here for it!
Absolutely screaming for heavy vehicle drivers here in Australia, especially WA. Was on a plane this week with a guy who flies from the east coast to the west coast every month, their that desperate. I'm assuming you're talking about Geraldton. You'll have no problems getting a well paid job. If you search youtube there's a guy who left the UK as a HGV driver who's now driving road trains. Good luck.
The algorithm seems to want us to leave, to become a diaspora.
I'm absolutely bombarded with these videos. All have almost the exact same title.
Great replacement theory is real haha
You need to keep going with YT in Australia.
Will do fella
@truckitprayle Me, I'm off to Brazil next year for good. Married a Brazilian lady. It may be a bit on the dangerous side, but I will not be bumping into any of the so-and-sos there.
Didn't you do a video about a year ago about coming to Canada?
Yes mate, but never worked out because of the market etc but now we have our visa's and are getting ready to go! Aussie!
@truckitprayle well if you ever need a way in, hit me up. I'll sort you out into Canada.
