Hello from a UK newbie! (Nicola W)

[McJim]

'Pom' or 'pommy' does not necessarily refer to just the English, it also refers to the British as a nation.

Not in my book. Anyone calls me a pom gets to carry their teeth home in their hat!
Or gets called Australian - whichever I deem most offensive at the time.

That could only come from a Scot

Hello people! (Everyone who had replied to me!) Thank you for all of your replies to me!

We've been warned about trying to get a job prior to coming over... Hence the reason we don't have one! (yet!!!)

We'll be coming over before Christmas! And looking hard for work..... It's all hubby wants to do (and me) work hard .... play hard..... We just want a better life for our boys.....

McJim - Although we dont know what Scotland is like...., I hope you find your place in NZ. The UK is a boiling pot. It will explode - no two ways about that.

Welcome Nicola.
As you may have noticed, theres a huge cross section of riders/weido's living here.
All the best for your arrival, and feel free to poke a bit of fun/shit at some of the local trolls. They take a hook swiftly.
NZ is a lovely place, (I'm biased of course), but holidays in Aus/Fiji/Cook Islds etc help to refresh the attitude ocassionaly.

[Nicola W]

Thanks again...

I should really get on and start posting and stop thanking eveyone!

I'll mainly be in the off road section.

I don't have any regrets at all and we're not even there yet! We just can't get over fast enough! Trying to find a job for hubby is difficult when we are so far away. They wont issue him a Visa without a job offer. We'll have to just come over and then look for work.

Just need to find somewhere who needs a bricklayer/carpenter who is completely dirt bike obsessed!

KiaOra welcome
shouldn't have a problem finding a job in that line of work, most of our trades people have moved across the ditch, so plenty of jobs.

cheers john

If hubby's a carpenter/bricklayer he'll find no trouble getting work. There's a shortage of tradesfolk. If you want to buy a home try looking away from the big smokes (Auckland/Christchurch). Plenty of other medium sized places or smaller that can offer you better prices on houses and more time to yourselves to enjoy said hobby (dirt bikes). Less time commuting which is awesome.
Dunno if this is of any help, found it by googling

Hey Chickadee Thank you! and you gijoe1313 and in fact everyone who has made a reply! It's lovely to hear from fellow bikers wishing us well - Your support is appreciated so much!

We post on a UK forum and have made many friends through the motocross section on there. We meet up and ride and have BBQ’s.

We are hoping to come over to your beautiful land before Christmas - It’s our chosen place to settle and raise our two sons. We will leave many friends in this country but we hope to make even more out there! We’re friendly, easy-going and we and our two sons LIVE for motocross! It’s all we ever want to do. Work hard -play hard!

I hope to still be able to take my photographs over there too! MX photography is my passion!

Anyway … going on a bit as I’ve had a couple of beers!
