Tax Rates, Populations etc

Others are ideas on prices on how some areas of Australia cheaper than other areas of Australia. By default if I say that a loaf of bread is $1.10 in one shop but $3.40 in another shop, I am being positive about one Australian shop and negative about another Australian shop.

However that gets turned into me being a person who doesn't seem to give anything other than positive opinions about Oz.

I am still trying to work out the logic in that. I actually rarely compare the UK to Australia.
:confused:

And to be honest, there is nothing that I would say is crap here in Australia for me. But then, we may just have different definitions on the meaning of "Crap". I consider crap to be something sufficiently bad enough to warrant complaint.

The problem is that I can't think of anything.
I know I have a bad memory, so maybe I just forget ?

I need you help with suggestions that I can consider, to see if there is something that I can say is "Crap" about my life in Australia...

Fire away with any ideas ...

I do have a saving grace though in a mother in law who buys every single garment my children wear in the UK - which is great. Its so odd though you get these really unusual t-shirts at next then next season the identical item will come into Target but with different words etc.

The food here is great but I want Marks, sainsburys and tesco. I am used to just missing it though, you get over it I think and things like clothes dont seem so important to me any more. It doesnt really matter on the coast.
