Re: Differences between London and Perth...
Perth has been ranked the 5th best city to live in the world....
FORGET Dullsville, Perth is one of the world's top five places to live, according to a British survey ranking the liveability of 140 major cities.
Australian cities occupy five of the top 20 places in the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2009 Liveability survey, with Melbourne ranked third in the world, behind Vancouver in Canada and the Austrian city of Vienna.
The survey assessed 140 cities based on stability, health care, education, infrastructure and culture and environment, giving each one a rating out of 100.
Perth was equal fifth with Calgary in Canada, with Sydney sharing ninth place with Zurich in Switzerland, Adelaide in 11th place and Brisbane 16th on the list.
As well as Vancouver and Calgary, Canadian cities also featured strongly in the top 20, with Toronto (4th) and Montreal (17th).
The New Zealand cities of Auckland and Wellington finished 12th and 23rd respectively.
US centres were well down the list. Pittsburgh ranked highest, in 29th place.
The highest-ranked Asian city was Osaka in Japan (13th). The next highest was Hong Kong (equal 39th with Madrid, Spain) followed by Singapore (54th) and Seoul, South Korea (58th).
The worst city to live on earth is Harare, the strife-torn capital of Zimbabwe.
"The performance of Asian cities reflects the diverse levels of development throughout the region,'' EIU spokesman Jon Copestake said.
"Australian cities represent many of the best aspects of liveability, while instability in countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh means that cities in South Asia fare much worse.''

Re: Differences between London and Perth...
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.

Re: Differences between London and Perth...
1) Both are near the sea
2) Blackpool has loads more twinkly lights at certain times of year
3) Shellharbour has dolphins... in the sea, not a tank.
3) One of them has more pavement pizza's on weekend mornings.
4) The beer is better in Blackpool
5) Blackpool has much bigger pylons.
Other than that they are almost indistinguishable.

Re: Differences between London and Perth...
It's clear to anyone that the guy is on a wind-up, and was adding nothing to this thread apart from sarcasm, thus he is a troll in my opinion and a moderator should 'have a word'. If that kind of behaviour is allowed on this forum people will give up creating posts.
My initial comments re: Perth and London were not knocking one or the other, they were merely things I've noticed. Yet still there are muppets who try to insinuate that it is a slagging off Perth thread, and that I can't compare London to Perth.
I've certainly learnt my lesson and will most definitely not be starting anymore threads as there's a few on here who go out of their way to try and make people look like fools, in some inane attempt to try and look clever.

Re: Differences between London and Perth...
To me most important difference spending alot of time in both.
In Perth there isnt an underlying rap wannabe gang culture that involves 'shanking' an innocent person to become a member, Or a eastern european illegal pickpocket operation or trafficking kidnapped women to be used in the sex trade.
Just what I noticed from my time, and I am aware there is a degree of gang violence in Perth but not to the scale of our 'great' shitty i mean city.
For my kids thats the most important difference!

Re: Differences between London and Perth...
Maybe you should start looking at troll-like sarcastic comments started in a thread that was intended to help future expats? That's what this place is for after all, isn't it?

It was you who started with the insults though.
