That sounds about right. A suit for work costs me around $1000 for the same quality of one for 200GBP. |

I'm sorry for saying people dont know how to drive when it comes to round about, here everyday I say prayer before I cross one, that's 4 times a day.:lol:
Who said white van drivers are bad driver, just wait until you see the Ute drivers.:frown: |

Maybe we have been spoilt here in the UK?! I thought OZ was a modern cosmopolitan country? Well the cities at least?? I thought we were called "Rip off Britain" for a reason? Come on Guys I really need to hear some plus sides of living in OZ, lol. Is the NHS really that much of a better system? Dont get me wrong I think it's fantastic as I have spent a fair time in Hopitals when I was younger (Car accident being one reason) I also now work in the NHS and have done for the last almost, 3 years. Although my personal opinion is that the NHS we know at the moment has it's days numbered. Anyways enough of my ramblings, I am interested to know it what way the clothes are crap? Price, lack of choice lack of style etc etc. Everyone in neighbours seems pretty well turned out!! lol :rofl: Dom Hope that helps. :) |

Not had any problems finding reasonably priced good quality clothing here. :confused: I have more clothes in my wardrobe (walk in) here than I ever did in the UK. Medicare have been brilliant IMO and I know we've had better service than the NHS would have given us.
Hope that helps. :) Cue many BE clones (scary). |

Last time I went back to Blighty I could not get over how reasonable the prices were for clothes, the quality and the range - Zara, River Island, Top Shop, Next (though I'm not a huge fan), Oasis, Warehouse .... I could go on :(:lol: |

Sportsgirl used to be ok but is now just tatty and overpriced. Wish does some ok stuff (can be found in Myer and David Jones).

It would have been cheaper and much better quality. |
Re: BT im sorry..
You should try living in Spain and trying to get something decent to wear! :frown:
If you are above a size 8 - 10 then its off to the old womens, old fashioned shite clothes shops for you!!! :curse: |

Obviously there are no guarantees on reasonable prices :sneaky: |
Re: BT im sorry..
I recon I must live in a different Australia to you lot! Never had a problem getting decent clothes at a reasonable price, service has usually been good, driving no different to anywhere else, health service good. Ofcourse I've lived here much longer than you and know my way about.:)

Re: BT im sorry..
Hi,
You can buy clothes online and have them delivered direct to Australia from Top Shop, delivery is only £10 how ever much you buy. ASOS.com also deliver to Oz as do Schuh. Not sure if you can pay in Dollars as I still have my Uk accounts and use them. I hope this might cheer a few people up. Sarah. |
