To the starter of this thread. If you want I'll buy your house and pay for your air fares back to the UK. I'll give you what you paid for it 17 years ago

There is nowhere to go unless you spend hours and hours in a car ,traveling through the most boring sunburnt terrain you can possibly imagine and when you arrive at your destination its importance has usually been grossly overstated by West Australians, because they have seen nothing better.
Food is getting incredibly expensive boxes of cereals can cost up to 8 dollars decent bread 3.50 a loaf.beans 1.30 etc etc,yes petrol is half the price but its twice as far to get anywhere and all at ludicrously low speed limits.

Not too long ago, one of the moderators posted on this board about the need to be nice - some a*seh*les had a lend of a lad about his educational standard thinking they were funny. The lad was serious and so may be this poster. However having got such a cr*ck of shit from the resident pseudo humourists I wouldnt have returned either!

Get over it with the "why not go back where you came from" line - for some of us it isnt possible end of story!
