Sara DobsonGovernment Funded Speed Dating to entice British Girls Downunder
October 6th 2008 06:33
British women are bored with the gloomy weather, cost of living and British men. This is fantastic news for the South Australian government, hoping to entice immigrants down under to help resolve the labour shortage.
The research, carried out among 2000 women, also showed that most would relocate for love. The long dreary winter is one of the worst things about being single in the UK.
Just over a third of the British male population are single, versus South Australia where 50.4 percent of males are single.
With the hope that some clever British women would hit it off with a great Aussie bloke, the government in South Australia set up the first ever government sponsored speed dating event, in London’s Soho area.
I guess it is a great idea in theory, although if the Aussie bloke decides he wants to stay in the UK with his British girlfriend the Australian government may lose a clever bloke.

The answer? Move to South Australia, which promises good jobs, cheap property, warm weather and low crime. Oh, and plenty of men.
Bill Muirhead, South Australia's Agent General in London, said: 'We can offer UK migrants a quality lifestyle, strong career prospects, beautiful beaches, world-class wine and fine weather.
