Do you know Megs, I reckon OZ is far more obsessed with class than some snotty little cockney like me.

I have never seen a Country so divided up into zillions of Characterless Suburbs each with its own tag as to who can live there. Same with schools, how far will most here go to get into a private school, show me an Aussie who would not kill to have a BMW, what is the catch word in home products here European. Its the most suburban place in the world. Outback most dont even know where it is.

I did my 15 hours on a trolley in a Public Hospital here, then I got a bed next to some withdrawing junkie and an incontinent 93 year old lady who nobody had time to help. Now I pay my Private Cover, still have to Pay medicare cover, and still end up with Bills every time we get sick. Do you know that in an area of 220,000 people the only cancer treatment centre is Private? Not insured travel 1.5 hours to get your radiation and 1.5 hours back again. Health system far from Perfect.
