Or

Am I just imagining this !!!!!

Definitely alive and kicking, no different to the UK (or anywhere else come to think of it) in that regard. Where you live and where your kids go to school is a recipe for a right old ding dong on BE.

Some people just like to argue, regardless of subject.

Australia has more of an Americanised status system compared to a class system that Britain has. The location of where you live and where you send your kids to school are the two most important aspects here of that system. It's more evident in Perth has Perth brings in more migrants and has a lot of Wealth for it's size. You can pay some outrageous prices for average food and beer but the prices are there because people are prepared to pay for it.

I've been in Perth almost a week and I'm yet to see one ute with a dog on the back of it. I just don't feel like I'm in Australia.

Get yourself a few km's out of the city to Gidgegannup or further up to road to Toodyay or something and you'll fulfill your dreams.
