I think I must live in your parallel world. Me and mine tend to avoid areas where Brits tend to congregate so don't often witness what Fluffy has experienced. My friends are a mix of Australians, S Africans and Brits who don't tend to abuse and barrack passers by - maybe I should move.

It's not rivalry at all - I personally love Perth to pieces just dont want to live there! This is all about my opinion - yeah, it's like an asshole - it stinks and we all have one!
Anyway, I see this as friendly debate - like for like. It's good to get people's views on different places!

Re: Mullaloo Beach, Australia Day
So what did you witness personally in Perth that made you think this and how many suburbs in Brisbane have you been to? Just trying to see what you are basing your opinions on of course. You can't tell me that there aren't idiots that drink in the Pig & Whistle or any other UK style pub around Australia. You haven't seen it therefore it doesn't happen.
I agree though whatever nationality these folk are proven to be they should be ashamed of themselves.

For some reason brits come here and they go to the extremities of perth ie rockingham or joondalup area and with the popularity of british/irish styled pubs these days it seems to generate more of a costa del sol type of attitude towards the country they live in ,i am refering to the english here and not the other inhabitants of the british isles .
It seems to be the english bovver boy idiot that seems to be causing tthe trouble around joondalup these days .
I think the pomburbs are nothing better than over priced ghettos full of all the social problems that come along with them .I have friends who live in the pomburbs and their lives are preoccupied by gossip and innuendo ,i hardly know anyone in the old baily for instance but i know what all the goss is ie ''i know who is having an affair with who '','' i know the cliches '' and i know who to avoid at all costs .
Although i am no lover of australian society in general [to materialistic for me] ,i do believe brits should try and intergrate more or is it a case of young english/scottish/welsh/irish lads being prejudged by their australian peers and always on the brunt of ''POM'' jokes and this slowly grinding away at them that the young english [not so much scots/irish,welsh]getting the hump and have retreated to their own cliches . JUst a theory to me and maybe im looking to deep into it .

Completely agree. We have had more antisocial behave from our Aussie neighbours than any poms.

Re: Mullaloo Beach, Australia Day
The Northern suburbs are always getting bad press on here. Try going down to Rockingham for a day out!
