EXCUSE ME!!!
It was 26 today, a beautiful autumn day by my standards. ( and has been beautiful for weeks) Hardly COLD
We have only had one day of rain since the middle of January. Hardly that WET.
The sky is blue, i have rossella's kookaburras, black and white cockatoos (to name a few) in my back yard, the sun shines and the traffic aint too bad. Hardly depressing is it??
As for racially motivated soccer violence, eerrmm, thats in the UK right??
Gang land killings, one since i have been here, like i said its nice here in Melbourne. Perhaps you should come for a visit sometime

Did he start it? I thought it was you with your rather interesting (but flawed) assumption that anyone who cannot afford more than £2,000 (or who choose not to spend quite so much) for their holiday belong to the ‘low-life’ category. I had to smile at your use of the word ‘rest’, as in ‘sharing a hotel with the rest of the UK's lowlifes’. Taken in the context that you have used it indicates that you consider yourself to be part of the UK low-life.

Its nice of you to have taken time to pick through my grammar so closely.
It was a reply to a post that reckoned you could get cheap holidays to the Med, yeah but with a catch.
you maybe got upset because you dont mind sharing hotels with scumbags or maybe you are one ?.
Isnt the anonimity of this forum great ?.
Get of your pathetic high horse I didnt say everyone in hotel was a scumbag I said you had to share it with them, and paying 2000 quid wont get you anything better.

Well said owieb.

We're off to Ningaloo for 10 days soon, in a 6 berth campervan, just like last year. We can't wait.

It's the best city in Australia for families and for people who love the great outdoors.

People who slag it off and haven't been here, well, their opinions are worthless.

Perth isn't just a city isolated by desert, there's the beautiful, and very different South West region which is probably as big as Tasmania.

Do people slag Tasmania off for being isolated? You want isolated, what about New Zealand?

We like living here and we too would also rather move back to the UK than have to live in a cold, wet and depressing place like Melbourne with it's racially motivated soccer violence and gangland killings. Taking the train from Melbourne to Bendigo reminded me of Northern Ireland with the Croatian murals painted on the houses.

Or Sydney where 50 strong Serb gangs battle Vietnamese in the street and the Lebanese battle each other with automatic weapons in the Western suburbs every night.

So there, my 2c on Perth. If you don't like it, stay away and let us enjoy it in solitude.

I didn't pick over your grammar at all, although your post is certainly deserving of such appraisal. If you call people low-life scumbags for being careful with their hard-earned cash then you can expect to be challenged on such sweeping generalisations and assumptions.

Not assumptions at all, I'll leave those to you, I have paid around 1800 quid twice in the last two years for family holidays in the Med and have not managed to avoid the "lowlife" element as yet
do you think spending your cash on getting as drunk as skunks everyday is being careful with your money ? I dont.
Not generalisations just observations,
And I am allowed an opinion like everyone else on here.
or is that an assumption too???
I noticed that you edited your last post, did you have to alter your grammar???

I edited my last post because on reflection the final paragraph was inappropriate, therefore I deleted it. I thought you weren't making assumptions?

I did wonder what your definition of low-life, scumbag was. We all have different opinions on this and you should be very careful how you categorise people. Just because somebody gets drunk, does not make them scum.

Yes, you are entitled to an opinion; so am I and like you I am giving it. Your first post on this matter asserted that if you spent less than £2,000 on a holiday in the mediteranean, you would have to share it with the 'rest' of the UK's low-life. Why you cannot simply accept that your post was insulting and offensive is beyond my comprehension.
