My reply was valid too.

You seem to get upset though about people who say things you don't like. E.g. Perth is boring.

Just out of curiosity ... why do you want to know, why they want to know ?

Or should I not want to know this ? :lol:

To be honest, I don't really care what other people think. Just curious why it bugs others so much.

Okay, I see you're going to be pedantic about this (what's new). You also don't seem to understand the meaning of a forum either (look it up).

I have never understood, and never will, why people live somewhere that they are not happy - especially when they have a choice not too. I understand that a few may not have choice for various reasons, but most do. As for people posting shite about Perth, that used to wind me up but no longer - and has not for a long time.

LOL, I think the field is defnitely better looking but I was getting a picture of a quite attractive woman at one stage. OT sorry!

Totally agree, this forum is frequented by people who've moved across the other side of the world, often taking their whole families and yet they moan about whichever city/town they live in, complain about having to wear suncream all the time and/or that it's too hot, it's as if they'd never heard of Australia before and picked it out of a hat as a place to emmigrate to. I thoroughly agree with the Australians labelled most British emmigrants as 'Whinging Poms'

If it wasn't so hypocritical it might make more sense! Ever had any dealings with Aussies in the UK? No different I'm afraid.

I really can't see why people who move here complain about the heat or humidity. It's hardly ground breaking news! Australia also promotes itself as a hot (and humid in parts) country and doesn't hide the fact.

Erm, something like that. :unsure:

Something like this:

Real examples:
  • Oooh it's too cold / wet
  • Oh it's so expensive here (generally followed by some story based on life in the 1990s maybe about how it's "dollars for pounds"
  • The broccoli tastes funny
  • The sunscreen doesn't work properly, I get it sent over from Aus
  • The TV is rubbish
  • etc etc etc

So really, no different!
