Good luck and don't hesite to e-mail me if you want more info.

Re: Where to live in WA?
I don't mind who knows ...
I live in the Armadale / Kelmscott / Roleystone / Gosnells area!
I love it! Short drive to the city, Freo or the beach. 30 - 40 mins maybe
Far enough from the city , but not too far!
Property is reasonably priced here.
Great area IMHO.

Maybe he went to the same reform school as me - Immingham Comprehensive? Now, there's a scary school...

Re: Where to live in WA?
Thanks for that advice. Bit worried that property prices are going to rise if you keep advertising these areas though so try and keep it quiet for now, or even better, you could start a new string and say how horrible it is... nuclear energy plant, strange smell of sewage, neighbours with 200 foot Leylandii - that sort of thing normally works.
By the way, what does IMHO mean?

I noticed from the bits under your name that you lived in Grimsby. Having lived in Immingham (Grimsby
but with oil refineries) I know why you went to Perth!

Hey Almor,
When did you leave Immingham? I have lived and worked here for the last 28 years - and in 255 days giving it all up for Perth !

Re: Where to live in WA?
I think it was in 1980 to 82. Just before my O levels started - although my parents came back later whilst I was at Uni. Quite a few people with wanderlust seem to be from Immingham. Can't figure out why that would be! Go Bananas' hubbie lived just around from my house. Maybe we should start an oil refinery appreciation society dedicated to drinking, sun worship and that sort of thing in Perth!
Send me a PM if you want to know a bit more!
