Oh God... not the "its cheaper at the fruit and veg man" line again. !!

There are two fruit and veg shops near me... one sits directly facing a Coles, the other directly facing a Woolworths... and neither of them is cheaper than their supermarket rival if you start comparing like for like. I hear the line that its cheaper at the fruit and veg man all the time... and cheaper at the local butcher... and from my own personal experience... no it bloody isn't.

Saying Wollongong is in 'South Sydney' is like saying Milton Keynes is in 'North London'.

I can see this is going to be fun...

So, saying that large parts of Australia don't have the same choice as Melbourne is "mis-information".
Interesting argument... stupid, but interesting non the less.

Stupid, eh?

When does comparing your experience living in a town of 25,000? people in regional NSW stack up against living in a major city of 3,600,000 people in VIC.

Oh, thats right, in your mind.

FFS - its like comparing the service you get in Inverness to the service in Manchester.

Wollongong is "South Sydney", apparently. I'm waiting for confirmation to see if I'm actually in "North Melbourne"

I suggest you check out the recent history of the Wollongong council before shooting your mouth off. Try starting here....

Oh FFS, if this is the best you can do then sod off back to your sand pit. It sounds about the right intellectual level for you.

Going on the distances involved it would also make Liverpool, "West Manchester".... now that would be bloody funny. :D
