Fortunateley Bondi has priced out most of that type. According to Aussies the place used to be full of 'Kiwi dole bludgers' but legislation has stopped that.

Nothing to do with Kiwis, that was the old free dole as soon as you arrived thingo Gov stopped that two odd years ago. Most kiwis I know here work hard, suppose they have to with no benefits now.

And that is NET income from benefits, not bad considering the national average salary is £21,000 GROSS!! That man should be made to work for that money instead of spanking the lot on booze and fags, absolutely disgusting

Whole gang of kids 20 or so of them busily hurling stubbies into the cars stopped at traffic lights. Drug dealing very obvious on most corners and the odd person spewing up in the gutter or flaked out on the pavement. Deffo the wrong part of town thats for sure!!. Lost in hell I as I remember.

Cabramatta has a bad reputation as gang and drug capital of Sydney. I have not been there but it is supposed to be worth a visit for an ethnic cultural experience. I would not go there at night.

My 6 year old came in the other day and say "mum, whats a *****" "oh my god" i replied, "don't use that word, its discusting"
He said "well Lewis just said i was a bloody little one of 'em"
The following night 6 year old came in and said to his 9 year old sister he'd got a message from lewis "he wants to shag you"
This kid is 8 and if he were mine would have his mouth gaffa taped permenantly!

Just to go off on a tangent. How is Brighton these days? Left there over twenty years ago and moved to Devon.
Is it run down ?
Have only been back once and got accosted twice at the railway station by drunks who would not take no for an answer.
I use to like the prom and beach and still look for the football result.

Found the BBC documentary on what makes a millionaire shown at the same time very fascinating. Work colleague said he watched the C4 program and couldn't believe how people volunteer to go on TV for these things.

Can't wait to watch the programme, have taped it as we were watching the 'West Wing'. But sounds as if we should have taped the later and watched wife swap.
BTW, not everyone who lives in the North of England is a 'pleb' and has foul mouthed children.
