My neighbours are a bit close... they are always chucking stuff off their parapets onto my lawn.

Can a garden be truly complete without an up-on-bricks car?

1. UK
2. Malaysia
3. Australia
4. South Africa
How ironic that the country where the chain began is where it's worst. And Spurs aren't what it used to be either. Will have to try Nandos at the V&A waterfront next time we're there
KFC gets the top score in Malaysia

It does often seem, once you start looking, that a lot of places in Australia are extremely, er, crap in their construction. No wonder so many people end up homeless in situations of flood and fire - the houses are simply not built to withstand ANYTHING much at all - ironic considering the climate here.

Re: Little things I miss from Blighty
I'd much rather be in a queenslander house in a flood than a british house. I'd much rather be in a queenslander house in the summer than a british house. I'd much rather be in a queenslander house when the termites are attacking than a british house. I'd much rather enjoy the australian outdoor living of a queenslander house than a british house.

I have just bought my OH a walnut whip and DD some Hula Hoops from the British Shop. An expensive little treat for them.
