When I lived in Beckenham and Dulwich I did not think they were particularly dirty.....not much 'doom and gloom' either:confused:

But thanks for the sarcastic post.

I wouldn't normally have bothered, but I've read a fair few of your other posts over the past week or so.

I would rather drink kangaroo piss than that type of shite.

Are you my stalker? Or is it because I was rude about Brisbane?

Hmmm - you're a bit of a troll idiot aren't you?

No, like I said - it may be a bit of a heads-up to people heading out to Perth from the UK/London.

I certainly wasn't aware of a lot of what I've found out since living here when still in London.

Shit, why am I even bothering to reply to a muppet like you.

Depends on what kind of beer you like. I think British 'real' ale is rank and tastes like dishwater. I prefer Belgian style beers or lagers, pilseners and guinness. IMO the Belgians, Germans and Czechs do much better beer than the Poms. There are some great Aussie beers - Redback being my favourite.

Don't agree that 'real' ale is rank or tastes like dishwater.
From what you have said it sounds like you just prefer lager than ale/ beer. I do agree with Belgian beer, it is easily the best in the world.

In my opinion there are much better beers than Redback which is just an imitation of a Hoegarden style white beer. Current Aussie favourites are Murray's Sassy Blonde and Grand Cru.

Smoking though, don't agree there, I notice in Oz as a whole far fewer people smoke, statistically somthing like 35% adults in UK smoke compared to 25% here

Would have thought the same with regards to smoking.Little tolerence here for it at all....Expect UK will make up ground with the smoking ban in pubs now in place. Possibly won't be a lot of drinkers left soon either, what with the rate of pub closures over there,which to a large part is to do with smoking bans.

Real ale is rank in my opinion.

Different strokes for different folks Champ.

Fair enough, I love real ale. I tend to avoid anything that is mass manufactured. Prefer the boutique stuff.

I would reccomend Snowy Mountains Crackenback Pale Ale. If you can get it in Perth that is.
