I think what gets peoples backs up is your inference, whether intended or not, that people who choose to live in a suburb with a high British population are somehow inferior to you.

At what point have I inferred that - that is a massive conclusion to draw from any of my comments.

So when I move back to the UK with all those British people I'm going to have one massive inferiority complex

Sorry you read more into my posts than were intended.

I am so close I can smell them!

I have not noticed lots of British families where I live though there are quite a few British and Irish children at my daughters schools.So I think we are spread out over Woodvale.The Aussie children seem very friendly and just see someone from England etc as a new person starting school.Sue.

Hi All,

Woodvale - lovely place, lots of trees (I remember) we were looking around there to buy, even had a tour around the local high school with our daughter. But due to the housing market we decided to rent our house out here in the UK until the market picks up. We're now going to rent somewhere nearer my sister, though I think when/if our house does sell we'll be coming over that way.

Thanks all

M

no one

as everyone is allowed their own opinion

some expats like living near other expats and that is right for them and others like to live near aussies and have very few expats near them and thats right for them - some burbs do tend to attract expats but that is not wrong - either -its personal choice

i live in a burb that has 71% of aussie (born) and 11% of uk born this is normal for the area of where i live - all of the burbs that are nxt to it have the same % of aussie to uk born

its about the area - whats important to you personally not about nextdoor neighbours if they are aussie (born) or uk (born) but about local stuff like schools, shops , beach ( if thats important ) travel to work etc



please note i am not having a dig at anyone its about personal choice

Very true.We knew we wanted north of Perth and schools were the main reason why we opted for Woodvale and the feel of the place.I could not care where the people I live next door to come from as long as they are good neighbours.Sue.

i dont know why it always ends up being that its wrong to live up north or down south ? to live nr expats or to live nxt to aussie borns its personal choice




but people do have very strong views on this subject and i think everyone should respect everyones views on this as really everyone is right its about personal choice -



i have seen so many arguments on here about where to live in perth
