Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

Come on then... where's my cheap butcher?

...and why are you late on deck?. I was throwing the ABCD bait around hours ago and you didn't bite. Damn tardy if you ask me. ;):D

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

Those little lamb chops are heading for an average of $100 a kilo inside a few years if the keep rising at their current rate...


In ABCD land they will probably be about $8 a kilo at that point....

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

Nope... is nobody selling onions near you for 4c a sack? You could boast about that. :)

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

I'm sure those who say you can get by on 'no money' have never been even close to that position in their lives. I spent many years as a child where either I ate, or my mother did. Invariable that...

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

I can see how a backpacker, with zero commitment and nothing more important to do than scratch their own backside, can get by without much money. That doesn't really apply to most of us though does...

Re: Is Australia really THAT expensive?

My local Dan Murphy's has some Czech beer in bottles... but its just not the same as getting on draught. Same with the UK beers that are available.

There are times when I'm convinced, that you either live in a different country from me, or you have your own time machine.
