Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
 

How's that for a one-line description of a place.

Moved here in December from England but won't be staying for long.

Over 50's not welcome in bars and clubs. Over 50s like to go out on the town you know.

Bullshit place, Perth. Full of corporate stuffy types, very uptight. If you're thinking of moving here from UK, and you like a bit of nightlife or are are single status over 50, forget it!

You've only been here 2 months. Maybe you haven't been visiting the right areas?

Though with your attitude maybe you are better off elsewhere. Perpetuating the general "whinging Pom" vibe that Aussies get and all.

Cheers!

Sure, may be! I'll give it at least 12 months so who knows. . . where am I right now? - see above.

Off to see Lady Gaga in July - that's a plus!

Sorry to all for negative orig post, but that's what these forums are for - to speak your mind, plus me being me I wear my heart on my sleeve and don't mince my words.

Anyone know is there a pub in Perth I can walk in to, spend-up in there, then fall out of in to a waiting taxi, for the weekends? My pub experience so far is that if I have two beers the bar staff start looking at me as if I'm a criminal, then after the third they look in to my eyes and tell me they're glazed so I am pissed and must leave the premises!

You actually been asked to leave after 3 beers?!!!:ohmy::blink:

Re: Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
 

Maybe because People in Perth use bars as a way of relaxing and not as a way to lose their use of their limbs. If that is how you are wanting to use you weekends then may I suggest Manchester, Leeds,Liverpool,Glasgow. In fact any major city in the uk!!!

Yep. Hence my description "uptight, stuffy"

That's fine but it's imposed on all, hence my description "uptight, stuffy"

How touchingly naive

Re: Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
 

I lived in Perth for about 4 years and never once got asked to leave a pub, never found them stuffy either, quite the opposite.

If your after more of an englandy feel try durty nellys www.durtynellys.com.au its hidden away on a side street and has a great vibe at nights, good food to.

Perth is not like england and trying to look for the same things that you used to do in england is a mistake, you have to change you attitude and look for other things. I am back in the UK now and everywhere I go theres a million people crammed in.
I wish I was back in perth so I didnt have to queue for 20minutes just to get served in a pub, not to mention finding a bloody table to sit down at is difficult

Indeed, with an attitude like that I'm surprised they got to finish the first one.
