Re: Perths little quirks
Vash you will fit in so well in OZ!we had a business in a shopping centre and we were horified to see people walking about with no shoes on ,but at 9 in morning! and their feet were black ,which meant that they had gone to bed like that!
Wearing PJ S to go shopping !!!!! have people no pride in themselves
In the shopping centre were we had a shop ,we saw a girl about 16 with nothing but a duvet wrapped round her ,shuffling round the supermarket ,we could not believe it! Whats wrong with these people? were they dragged up ,not brought up ?
We live in Bedfordshire and maybe 5 mins for a taxi was not accurate .................10 mins sometimes .....and they phone you when they get outside your house ! ..you wont find that in OZ

Re: Perths little quirks
Well I am Australian, was born and raised in Australia, and spent the first 31 years of my life in Australia, so I'd be pretty surprised if I didn't fit in... 
No, your feet will get black pretty quickly if you walk across a car park. Believe me, I've done it. Perfectly clean feet when I left the house; black feet 30 minutes later. They get quite grubby from the car pedals while driving, too.
I don't see the problem here. What is it, exactly? Try visiting Walsall on the weekend some time. People in duvets would look like royalty by comparison! 
Hell, I don't even get it in the UK.

Re: Perths little quirks
told you Vash you were not living in right place!
Why would you want to walk around with no shoes on ??just dont get it.SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad i dont have to see that day in and day out.
SOOOOOO glad dont have to listen to being called a pomme B......D or even worse!!
I really hope you are going to say you dont believe that that is OK to be called that .
Now you have told me your history ,that explains why you think there is nothing wrong with not wearing shoes.Each to their own .

Re: Perths little quirks
Ok a few good posts but a few people have gone offtrack and others have jumped in to criticise what others have written.
This is a thread for things that YOU find quirky, funny or odd and would like to share in a good natured way.
Could the people who are trying to argue over points please dont, just appreciate that the comments are from someone elses point of view and may not agree with your own opinons and no amount of posts by you will change their view, so please dont try.

Re: Perths little quirks
Well Vash you obviously did not live in the right place !
Perth s a lovely place,the city is lovely ,beaches are superb ,but if you want to have a social life ,we found it too boring .The Aussies just drink in their back garden ,the English , that we met ,used to have a life in UK but so many of them just ........... socialised in their back garden ,which there is nothing wrong with that ,but they would not go out s it cost too much in taxis .For us to go out to Perth would cost $ 120 dollars in taxis for a night out ,i know you are now going to say get the train ,but if you got the train you would be stranded at the station!
Either you love it or you dont!
We took the advice of the racist stickers on the Aussies utes that would do doughnuts in the road and cut you up and basically try and run you off the road ....................AWOL stands for Aussie Way Of Life ..live it or F.... Off
so we did !
