There are Aldi , FarmFoods , and Lidl stores allover the M62 corridor so most , if not all , of the items you list , should be available to him at very reasonable prices should he choose to move to the north of this fine country of ours .
Furthermore . Blackpool , Morecambe . Skegness , Scarboro and Bridlington etc have some fine beaches where you often see people on surfboards .

You've tried trolling this groundless line under a different user name in the past. It was as poop then, as it is now.

Gary Heatherington would offer Gareth Widdop what he is worth with the offer of future wage increases depending on a number of factors such as international appearances and success with The Rhinos. It certainly won't be anywhere near the inflated wage he's getting in Australia.

Roots-wise Gareth might want to raise his young family back in Yorkshire where he had a successful upbringing before emigrating with his parents aged 15.

If he chooses to play for Leeds Rhinos then he will be joining one of the best run clubs in either hemisphere. If he's just after the money then Salford will be the destination but finance isn't everything.

It also helps if the post he's reading and trying to understand actually makes any sense.

I rest my case.

Rhino's fans ARE thick!

If Leeds can't even match the St George-Illawarra wage, then why would Gareth Widdop leave a very good team situation to be financially worse off?



Sydney is a much better place to raise your kids than Leeds. Sunshine and beaches and good food are a wonderful stimulant for one's mood and sense of well being.

You won't find [ifresh[/i oysters or prawns (they will only be available frozen or recently defrosted), or barramundi of any kind, in the establishments you mentioned. I hate to think of how the frozen prawns taste.

I suggest that you join me on the first Sunday in October in the bistro at ANZ Stadium, on the occasion of the NRL Grand Final. There for a mere $85 you will be able to enjoy a buffet that includes unlimited servings of Sydney rock oysters -- the world's best -- and huge prawns, as your appetiser. Follow that up with a main dish of hot roast lamb, roast beef, or roast pork, served with your choice of vegetables and/or deliciously baked potatos. Or if you prefer you can select from a variety of cold dishes, including baked salmon or chicken, with herbed pasta. There will likely be little place left for dessert, but a variety of chocolate or fresh cream desserts are available. Finish off with tea or coffee and you will not want to leave this lucky country.



Fine beaches? You are having a laugh aren't you? In Australia you can swim or board ride without a wet suit in the summer months. You can also lie on the beach in your swimming costume, even if it is wet, and not catch a cold. None of that is possible in the sad and overcast, not to mention chilly, English beaches that you cited.

Clearly we are. Could you explain what a "moderately team" is please?

I may not be a bon viveur or gastronome, but still I feel certain nothing remotely like this can ever have been seen in England. No, really. Much less at such a bargain price. I mean, there's no ice cream there, but hey, at the money, it would be churlish to quibble, even if they don't run to a soup and a roll.

Half a mile outside of any town or city in Aus it's just pure scrub, filled with things that bite and poison you. Waiting for you in the sea are those lovely box jellyfish, sharks and all sorts of nasties. In Britain, as long as you stay away from Leeds, St Helens and parts of Warrington, there's very little chance of your rest and recreation being disturbed by horrible venomous things.

I'm sure Aus is a lovely place, if beaches and BBQ is all you want

What about culture, food, arts cost of living etc.. Infact I'm sitting in leeds city centre drinking on a terrace right now.

On any given weekend I can visit Paris, Barcelona,Berlin, London for a couple hundred quid. In the winter I can snowboard in world class ski resorts in just a couple of hours.
