Karma sent!

Haven't they suffered enough already...?

We don't want him, what about Kalgoorlie!!

Why not send him to the UK?

I used to live in the Black country next to this really annoying Australian child that kept whinging about the size and age of the houses, I reasoned that as the most annoying childlike Australian actually lived in the UK then Australia might be a good place to move to. Unfortunately I forgot all his brothers and sisters lived there and many of them ran the country, and all his aunts and uncles were running jeep dealerships.....

Whoever said just go to another dealership clearly lives in a city somewhere LOL, Me next nearest it coff's which is about 2 and a half hours away.

That's too easy.

We really all want Akron to succeed in Oz.

He wants to (i'm sure), but he seems to be getting the short straw every time.

c'mon Akron, keep yer pecker up !!

PMSL

Yeah, hilarious. This Australian "child" is 33 years old, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I still want to know which part of the UK you lived in. By all accounts, it must have been heaven on Earth; a veritable Shangri-la, where the sun always shone, the grass was always greener, nobody ever conned you out of your hard-earned savings, everything was dirt cheap, and customer service was always impeccable.

Given these idyllic conditions, I can't imagine what prompted your move to Australia in the first place.

If it makes you feel better it's the same in NZ and at least 10 yrs behind!
What are alpacas like to look after and would 2 live on an acre of good grass here in NZ - where grass grows continually all year?

It's the fault of this 'shit pot country' because this anecdote is very typical of a day in my life in Oz, These things of course happened to me in the UK but rarely. Here the service is abysmal and attention to detail non existent. Pride in your work seems to only exist in all the burocratic departments. And before some pea brain says something like….’Arkon gets one bad service and tars the whole country’, This opinion is base on daily observations here in rural NSW.

2 days ago a sales person in a bakers purposefully kept 50 cents back to pockle me out of the correct change for a pint of milk, when challenged she opened her other hand and voila the missing 50 cents!! No point in complaining it was her shop!

Last Wednesday took the boy for his 1st swimming lesson at the local pool, Woman told us on the phone when we booked it to make sure he has a waterproof nappy, when asked where we get them from she said its OK cos they sell them there. We turn up and pay the $90 for 10 lessons and ask for a nappy, we’ve run out a couple of weeks ago and somebody forgot to buy some more!! He cant go in the pool without one, another wasted trip and 1/10 of the lessons wasted so far, lets hope they remember to put the water in the pool this week..

I’m sorry to whinge but the part of Australia you all live in doesn’t exist within 300km of me here, why you find it so hard to believe I can totally understand because I wouldn’t believe it either.

This is the 2nd time this particular jeep dealership has let me down, last time was 6 months ago when they took my money and then didn’t actually do the service, I found out because all the parts that should have been changed and the broken light cluster was still broken. But that’s another story.

As for what’s wrong with an old biddy removing my shopping from my trolly I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it, it’s customary in a civilised society to a) not invade other peoples personal space and b) ask permission or just supply some other courtesy or even conversation before taking someone else’s shopping. It can’t be because I’m a pom as I was alone in the queue and had not spoke a word so unless I’m dressed like a pom there is no way she could have known.

Back to the relative safety of my farm, at least there are no robbing, thieving, work shy gypsies within a kilometres radius to me!! Thank god for small mercies, no where did that snake go……

Beautiful animals, very easy to look after and yes I think 2 would live quite happily on an acre of lush grass, make sure they have plenty of shade and lots of fresh water, oh and if you get a boy make sure his knackers are off otherwise he will try and get amorous with every human female he meets!

Arkon, I get the feeling from some of the feedback that you have expressed some grief or other in other posts so I just wondered;

Has anything good happened for you since coming to Oz?

Anything of significance I mean, not like, yeah, well the sun shone one day etc.....

I agree with you on this one - I've had people do similar things with my shopping here. Maybe it happens in the UK, I didn't experience it there though. It would drive me crazy wherever, as I also see it as an invasion of my personal space. Thats something I find all to common here - people expect my lifestory when I just want to buy a pint of milk. Being polite is one thing, but this is often just plain intrusive and nosey. I hear The Bloke quite calmly telling people personal details that I wouldn't even tell my family, and it just annoys me - its MY life, and MY space, just give me a little bit of privacy.
