Thanks again for the reply.

The UK system sounds much more flexible and provides more options for holiday workers.

Been looking at UK and German forums and so forth and im still considering one of the two - but leaning towards Germany, mainly due to the living arrangments of where i can stay with my relatives rather than rent an apartment what would save me a whole heap of money.

In the end it will more than likely come down to what jobs are available within the country and how easy it is to find a job.
