Funny though, all those years down the line and she is still here in Perth. Must have grown on her eh.

you've answered my question, I was just wondering if she came back to the UK? I can imagine her living the rest of her life in Aus, moaning about everything but if she came back to the UK I could still see her moaning.

Hmmm the legacy of Sir Joh may be waining. I think reactionary measures need to be taken, Ever considered joining Flo's CWA, I reckon you would be great at Pumpkin scones. Plus it will show you what your true station should be

I'm a little confused. You talk about Mandy Skeggs being so right, what a herione she is to you and how she talks sense. Yet in your OP you say how'd you'd been sucked in by the glossy ads for Australia. That programme must surely have been one of the 'glossy ads'
