The smell of those cheap sausages at Bunnings mid summer :eek: has left me retching outside the front entrance twice now.

In 38C heat it has to be the most evil smell.

:sick: :scarper:

Can't stand big commercial crowded beaches. My wee local beach - Raby Bay (7 min drive) is ideal for us, the kids can have a run around and splash in the water in relative safety.

The locals swim at Raby Bay, it's absolutely fine. The end one is also a dog beach.

Didn't realise RB had a beach. All I've seen are McMansions on tiny blocks with a boat ramp at the end of an inch of grass.:lol:

An old friend lived there. Lovely house inside but I'd feel claustrophobic living there.

I used to know a man who peeped above a wall and a nurse.

Yeah it's too structured for me, love visiting the beaches but I wouldn't live there, much prefer down the road at the Thompson's Beach area in Victoria Point, it's more established, older houses.
