Watch out England! Here I come.

Hey, hey chaps and chapettes of the United Kingdom! After years of threatening to come to your fair country I finally did the deed today when I booked me a ticket to fly to Manchester in October. Yay! + daunting.

Now I'm concerned mainly about a job. I know it's similar to every country in the world where 'seek and ye shall find' applies but...what's the job situation like? Are there plenty of Australians about? Will I eventually end up saying 'fookin' instead of 'fucking'? Do the Beatles still live in Liverpool?

Seriously...what's the deal with 'backpackers' in England? Do yer look down upon 'em as if they were filth or do you say to all the Australians 'Say something funny! ?

Anyone willing to put me up for, like, 3 years while I slack about to get a job?

The only job Australians are allowed to have over here is to work in a bar. Preferably a Walkabout.

And that's it.

Why Manchester though, for heaven's sake?

That's where the family lives, y'see. Plus I was told to stay away from London if I want to have money.
