Glad to hear that Badge's standards are up to my own.

This is interesting, as I have evaluated our situation in a similar manner.

I can think of a few locations that might just meet it (naturally allowing for differences in country - god dammit afterall!) but a lot more money is required and frankly, we like it here so it's really academic. |

It was partly an exercise in comparing and contrasting Australia with UK as objectively as I could. And parts of London/the UK were without peer in terms of these problems people complain about - others weren't, hence my emphasis on area, not nation. A little rotundness is not an issue. But an area where a high proportion is obese, along with a myriad of other factors (etc) will I bet ya be more ''feral'' than an area where everyone is decidedly not. |

Totally agree with you! Not that I've been back since we arrived, but I remember it well. When I arrived here, I kept asking if it was OK to bring children in (pub etc) and they looked at me as if I was mad :o:
People (even grumpy old men) seem to find them charming (mostly!!) rather than annoying or an inconvenience :thumbsup: Many pubs are legally bound NOT to allow kids in but they are often welcome in the beer gardens. Prior to the smoking ban last year I would not have dreamed of taking kids in a pub anyway. |

Most of the country pubs are really just restaurants with bars attached now. A bit like Sydney in some ways except that they are 'Pokie Parlours' with a bar attached! |

My 2 year old daughter sat on a stool at the bar of the hotel/pub we stayed at in Wales.
She got so many cordial drinks off the barstaff it wasn't funny! |

I'm disappointed in the thin, well groomed and well educated real estate agents who obviously sold you a home in the wrong area.:( I agree Real Estate agents are to blame for all the ills in this World, they should all be whipped to within an inch of their lives. Saying that though the one who sold us our house was really feral AKA fat:lol: |
