Is anything missing from Oz that the u.k. could bring?
Apart from the obvious like 'Next' and M+S knickers,is there anything that the u.k. has, that is unavailable and needed in Oz?
I mean 'anything' ....from kitchen utensils and household items that are not available that you would like to see there...through to services that are normal here in the u.k. that are just missing in Oz?
We are Perth bound and interested to know what, if anything,could do with being there...?

Have to say I am so pleased Next doesnt exist in Oz, I am sick and tired of people looking down their nose at me because they shop at Next and I shop at Matalan!!

Ha ha! I wonder if Boden and Mini-Boden will ship to Oz? It's my fave although hubby is disgusted with me for it!

I'm sorry but you can't beat Matalan - actually take that back, Primark is maybe slightly better!!
Their underwear is fantastic (and cheap!!).
