Pollyana

You mean bits like...."Australians also say “excuse me” or “pardon
me” when they burp or belch in public or in someone’s home."
and
"Most Australians blow their noses into handkerchiefs or tissues, not onto the
pavement. This is also true for spitting. Many people will also say “bless you” when you sneeze – this phrase has no religious intent.
It is important to know that some behaviour is not only impolite but is also against the law. Examples include swearing in public, pushing in line, and urinating or defecating anywhere except in a public or private toilet."

Mostly aimed at those from a non-English speaking background, I would suggest? For whom it is probably a useful tool; doesn't give much solid info about areas and lifestyle though - you're better off getting that from here.

LOL You know what I mean!!!

Apparently correct, and consequently, my 5'11'' 20 year old daughter, who amongst her other certificates, managed somehow to gain a crowd controller certificate, is now right at this moment, stopping girls, and persuading blokes, from going over the top, in a karioke bar in central melbourne, , Thank gawd she is full of sarf london genes

By this post, I'm trying to show that one adapts to ones environment, and gains employment, and succeeds how one can.


Melbourne, arguably the best city in the world to live in, "REALLY' !!!

Personally Sam, I've lived in and around Coburg, since I arrived back in 1980, I love the place, Honestly.... Better than anywhere that I lived in previously In london.

Fitzroy, would be the epitomy of an urban dwellers heaven, from an Aussie point of view, Carlton very similar, Coburg, does an affordable equivalent, but not as well, .... Now thats the truth. So If you have 50,000 quid in your back pocket head to Fitzroy or Carlton or Brunswick or Northcote. If you've got 30,000 quid head to Coburg or Preston or Thornbury, or Reservoir.

If one is from Urban London, or possibly any other city in britain, Then the best parts of those cities are reflected in those Melbourne Suburbs, mentioned above.
