I knew i would get criticism for asking the question. It's just seems that other Oz states take the micky out of Adelaide. I have never been anywhere else in Oz and was just wondering if this was one of the factors? |

Suits and ties are 'de rigeur' in many businesses. Don't kid yourselves that there is not a 'fashion culture' in Australia. It depends on which circles you mix in. G |

No, but I can confirm that it is the same all over the West Midlands. :) |

Re: Is it just Adelaide?
Look, I will admit to this....I have dropped my son off to school while still wearing my p.j's! :eek:
I do draw the line at actually getting out of the car though!! :D I am used to seeing folk with barefeet now. But one thing I have noticed is a lot of Aussies have 'hammer-toes' from wearing thongs so much as kids and having to cling onto them with their toes. Have a look at their toes....see what you think. ;) |
