Three Legs

In the name of Lord God, tell me you're f***ing joking ... ?

You are aren't you ... ? Tell me you are f***ing joking.

If not, that is quite possibly the single most incredible and absolutely absurd rambling I've ever witnessed on here ...

OMGA.

Three Legs

I've seen everything I need too now.

Why are you paying 75p for petrol I know there's a lot of British over there but WA hasn't gone back to pounds and pence have they

I love lack of street lighting. Means you don't have the light pollution that stuffs up the night sky - you can actually see stars up there.

Fairly irrelevant in my opinion but I think you'll find a majority of rentals all over the world are painted whites and beiges. They are the easiest colours to live with, touch up and most furniture will go with them - all very important when renting out a property.

Anyway, I live over here so it doesn't concern me. I'd be interested to know how these traffic jams compare to most motorways in the UK though. On the radio here we hear about gridlock - what they actually mean is five cars have slowed down to 40

I like that too, in the summer I love standing outside with a glass of wine and just straring at the sky

You just have to execpt its not UK with sunshine, things are sone differently, some you will like and some not

I love the traffic reports in the morning going to work telling me that I may have to wait 2 light changes at a junction ...................Compare that to a half hour traffic jam over a distance of 2 miles on the North Circular just to get to the traffic lights!!!!!!!!

I wish, trying to give it during the week. Been really good so far its been 2 days But its really hard when you work for drinks company and temptation is all around every day

Don't you have chairs there either

thpinkpussycat

Chairs, we're to backward for them

If I'm lucky I'm flat on my back looking up after my fourth glass of wine

Nu-Shooz

OK, people who have lived in perth for a few years know all this stuff and have learned to deal with it probably so much so that its just part of normal day life..

but this thread is titled "IF YOUR COMING TO PERTH" and is aimed at people still in the UK who may have not yet visited Perth or even Australia ..much the same as myself and family before we started the immigration process...this is also the the reason i have put "£'s"

if someone is coming here and has read this thread,Maybe they wont order 4 large bags of popcorn in the cinema and have to chuck them away, or buy a 10 year old manual landrover freelander and be shocked they had to pay £6000 (+ stamp duty) for it (when it would have cost £1200 in the UK) and then not be able to sell it , 'cos no one wants it,

I have moved here from Dorset so am not used to 4 lane motorways which crawl along at 20kph and when you go to the beach your 3 year old isn't torn out of your hand by the undercurrent and you have to dive in to save them and then battle your way out of the water....

Yes shops in the city are open Sunday but most new settler pomms tend to live in either the far northern or southern suburbs as the £ doesn't stretch as far as it did

Dont get me wrong my family and I do love it here and sometimes have to edit our emails home so that it doesnt sound we are gloating too much about our new better lives ,

But there is an old saying forewarned is forearmed

OK. Just going to say this:


Good. People that speed are toerags.

If driving means that much to anyone then they can get a 4x4 and go off road or so one of those race track days. Using public roads like a race track should result in immediate death by firing squad.

Much higher than UK then.

As it should be.

If only Australia didn't have a law stopping people from REDECORATING

Didn't stop me swimming in them when I was a kid.

Not until after the crash, no. Expect 20% off before the end of 2010.

Yes they are hard work. The reward is your swimming pool.

Move to a district where you can buy a bigger garden or take the kids to the parks.

I'll watch my step. Stupid Australians.

Second-hand cars are often in better condition thanks to the weather. You remember the weather? It's that thing you moaned about every day when you lived in the UK.

Well, now I'm thinking about staying in the UK. This could be a deal breaker.

Sure. Same everywhere. It's going to get a lot higher as well. Buy a car under 2 litres and drive it as little as possible.

For now. Govt. has stated it's going to bring it up to date with other first world states.

With the notable exception of Adelaide, all major Australian cities have more annual rainfall than London. People should research this, and how hot it gets, before they move their families permanently to theo ther side of the world.

I have no experience of this. I suspect it depends on the social class of Australians one chooses to spend time with.

Not sure what this means. Are you a quantum physicist?

It really doesn't sound like you do like it there, and it is not backwards. The Upper Volta is backwards. You live in a country with satellite TV, air-conditioned malls, shops with 45 flavours of coffee and heated private swimming pools. This is not backwards.

Best regards,
T.
