Australian shopper can't get over 'unreal' UK supermarkets with 'unseen' items
Australian shopper loves 'unreal' UK supermarkets with 'amazing' lunches Brits have been left astounded after a woman who moved from Australia to the UK revealed some of the differences she's noticed. In a video that's gone viral, she highlighted several changes that surprised her, from supermarkets to pop stars, houses, and the weather. Posting on TikTok as @ Ella Smith told her followers: "These are some random things I found to be different as an Australian who's just moved to the UK." She said, "So the first one is that you can buy alcohol at like any of the main food supermarkets. "You just take it to the checkout, and someone comes and presses the button or checks your ID." Ella continued: "Next thing is meal deals. We don't have anything like this in Australia. I really think it's amazing." Ella was so impressed she said she'd happily eat a supermarket lunch every day of the week. "I love Tesco so much, I would eat there for every lunch," she claimed. In fact, Ella thinks UK supermarkets are "unreal." Later in her video, she explained: "The supermarkets here are literally amazing. I feel like every time I go to the big Tesco or big Sainsbury's, it's like a cultural experience for me. "Like we have two main supermarkets in Australia, and they basically sell like 95% the same products. So it's not that exciting. When I come here, there's literally like so many things I've never seen before, and you can buy literally everything in some of those stores. It's unreal." It's not just the supermarkets that surprised the social media user. "The next one is really random, but the lines in the sky after a plane has gone by, like big white lines," Ella added. She also listed "the Jet2holidays ad." Ella said: "I've heard this song literally everywhere, and apparently this chick is now doing like festival appearances or something, which I think is crazy," perhaps not realising that singer-songwriter Jess Glynne was famous long before her song 'Hold My Hand' featured in the holiday ads. "Sunbeds is another random thing that I didn't think really existed anymore," shared Ella, explaining that commercial sunbeds are banned in Australia. Predictably, her video also included the weather. "I feel like I have to mention the weather. Obviously, everyone warns you moving to the UK that the weather is gonna be s**t all the time, like today it's raining. But it's been so hot here, and I feel like the heat here when it's really hot is literally like... it feels different to the heat in Australia when it's really hot." Finally, Ella turned her attention to the UK's houses. "The last thing I can think of right now is conservatories, like the room," she revealed. "We don't have any equivalent to this in Australia, I don't think. Or at least, I've never heard of it."

'We're making a real impact on Worcester NHS patients' lives'
"With the NHS being fully public, you're helping everyone all at once.

On qualifying from the University of Worcester Ms Smith, who aims to become a doctor in England, could become one of the one in six NHS staff in Herefordshire and Worcestershire who have been recruited from overseas, figures what it was about the UK in particular that drew her here, Ms Smith replied: "I think because they have a similar sort of system to what we've got." The student added the structure of the medical school seemed "really interesting" to her."We're a lot more hands on than what I would've been at home as well," said Ms Smith."So it means that from year one, like day dot, we were getting amongst everyone and learning from the people we were gonna be working with, so it made it really exciting." 'Problem-solving' Many prospective NHS workers start their journey at the university, studying nursing or medicine, before they often get recruited Smith said she had always wanted to be a doctor, from the age of seven or eight."It's ever-changing what you're doing, you're constantly learning, but you're also problem-solving and then making a real impact on people's lives."The opportunities that I'll have working over here are different to what I would have at home, so I feel like getting to train here is really important."So if I was to go home, it wouldn't be working in that same hospital environment."The opportunities here are really good. Imagine, by the time I've finished my training, I'll hopefully be pretty settled here, so will end up here long term, I'm assuming."
