Re: Perth.
Where on earth did any of you get the idea that I expected Perth to have the same facilities as London? All I’m saying is that if you’ve really enjoyed a feature of life in another place, it can be hard living with something of lesser quality. Just like really enjoying fantastic, hand-made Belgian chocolates, then having nothing but cheap and nasty supermarket cooking chocolate – why bother?
I have posted in other threads about having children with special needs. If you have to walk along that path, then you do the best you can for your children to see that they get what they need. Perth can be a hard place to access assistance, let alone being in rural areas. Yes, as parents and as individuals, we’ve had to make sacrifices. Some of these measures have meant that we have been outside WA only once in 12 years. Try doing that and you soon realise that Perth can be restrictive with a lack of facilities and services – when it really comes down to it, there are more important things in life than sunshine for 9 months of the year.
As to some of your other comments, they’re pretty nasty and say more about you than me.
Narrow-minded, superficial, impatient, judgemental, ignorant yet supremely arrogant – not qualities I value or aspire to. Perhaps that’s why a part of me does not enjoy Perth and why some of you seem so qualified to be here.

I appreciate you may not like the area/city but from this particular post it seems to be a result of your own personal situation and not down to Perth itself.
Just because others do not have the same experiences of the place does not make them wrong and vice versa.

They're Spanish, but I'd hope that'd be satisfactory for you

I always thought power bills in Perth are for 2 months and gas for 3 months? At least mine are. Gas I pay $21 per month (every month). I cook electric, Gas only for hot water.
