    Hey,

    I'm French, my boyfriend's australian, and since my visa is running out in Australia, we'd be thinking of going to UK for a while (since getting married for inmmigration seems a bit unsure). We're thinking of going there somewhere between May and August. Maybe.

    Important Questions :
    1- How is the job market in UK ? Is there any chance to find a job quickly as it used to be before the Gobal Financial Crisis or has it become impossible ?
    2- Where should we go ? Is London Ok or has it been flooded out by job seekers ? Where else could be a good place to go ? (not being uge city fans, we'd rather stay in small to mid-sized towns/cities)

    Additional Questions :
    3- How much money would it be wise to leave with ? (with average to low spending habits)
    4- Should we instead try to get married and stay in Oz ? (but i'm not sure if i would be granted a visa - we're a bit short in "proofs of genuine and commited relationship")

    Thank you for any answer, i just want to make the right choice.
    (given the state of our bank accounts, it's either uk or mariage, with no second chance if one of them fails) (so its a bit stress-ful right now) (and any bit of help/information would be awesome)

    1- Its still down. Unless you have a very good luck, I would advise not to rely on finding a job. Provide at least six months of unemployment to be on the safe side. There are more than two million people already jobless in here.

    2- London will give you more chances of finding work but at the same time, the living expenses are ridiculous. And since you don't have a job, I would recommend somewhere else. The money you have in your savings will stay loyal for longer in for example Manchester than in London. If I were you, I would go somewhere else and once the situation gets better, think about moving to London.

    3- For two people, you should have a minimum of 200 Pounds a week. Thats very basic expenses. Rent for a room ( I wouldn't think about a separate flat if I were you ) food, travel passes etc. In London however, it would be at least three times this much.

    4- No idea about Oz.

    Good luck
