Funny and a bit bewildering, why would someone think that when there appears to be be nothing to suggest he is right ? I dont think either country is remotely dangerous for the average person on an average day.

It is a where is safe in Sydney thread, not an Australia vs UK which is frankly irrelevant. All depends on where in the UK the OP is from. I have lived in rough areas of the UK and very safe areas. Same here. Depends on what you make of both places and whether you want to live in fear.

I agree, I was just surprised by post 13. As you say it is irrelevant.

Depends on the mood of the MIL.

My MIL was brilliant but she could be scary

Its all relative. If you are from the Bronx, cremorne will be safe.

If you are from the royal palace in Windsor it might not be.

Didn't you come top in the poll for most annoying cant ;-)

Corgis kill

Most annoying cant what ? I dont recall that poll.

You live in a village. Nuff said.

Its like saying which car is more reliable. A german car or an american one. Some things in life are just basic. And this is one of them.

Here a granny gets mugged its all over the news. In the UK they'd have to be raped and killed sad as that sounds

Anyway like you guys said I am digressing from the OP's question. They'll know I suppose once they get here. Where are they coming from anyway?

OK, Im with you there, it isnt that it is safer in Australia it is just that they dont make such a fuss of the crime in the media. I do agree with that.

Lights are on. But there's nobody home!!!!



Have you ever lived in Australia?

Only most of his life

I dont think thats the answer he wants The thing is because I grew up in Australia and spent the majority of my life there I am able to comment on many aspects of life.

So a new poster asks a reasonable question, and "ding" like Pavlovs dogs the Anti-Australia band start braying like demented sheep.

Please ignore them Lettie.
