Yep, I witnessed the gangs congregating on the bank outside McDonalds on Whitfords Ave ... a rather unsavoury mob of delinquents.

I was on my way back from the gym at Craigie (No really, I was! ) ... just getting my supper ay Hungry Jackers ...

Mind you that group are made to look like a gathering at Lourdes compared to the 2am train departing for Clarkson on a Saturday night ...

Anyway I locked up the shop and made my way to the underground car park. Thats when it all kicked off. These gangs were running amok. Drinking beer, throwing bottles, it was like a riot down there. I was scared shitless!!!
One bloke had a bottle thrown at his car, he then chased the mob on foot, his mate chased thgem around the carpark in the car, the police were screeching around as well.
I got in my car and hid. I have never been so scared in all my life. Got myself into a right state and drove home with tears pouring down my face, (big babt that I am). Did anyone else witness this. Would have been at about 9.15 pm?

Same little mob hanging about again last night................they were hitting another kid. I had to intervene although many said I shouldnt have. But what if that kid they were bashing was one of yours or one of mine, and everyone turned the other way?????????????

One day some one will get one of them on their own and kick the hell out of them!!

Cheeky! Given that we start drinking straight from work on a Friday about 4.30pm I generally quit by about 10pm - no stamina these days . I did catch the 1am train once and was amazed how friendly and chatty everyone was. I thought that if it was the UK everyone would be cowering with their heads down.

Well done for doing something.
We usually take our sons into whitfords late night shopping, and something to eat on Thursday as they have a swimming lesson there at 5ish.
But after reading your 1st message we gave it a miss this week, to be honest I don't feel at ease in there or around there on a Thursday evening.
Take care of yourself.

Why do you ask? Do you think you might know them or do you just want to know what colour of kids to avoid in future.

Curiosity. I heard there have been gang clashes between Somalians and Aboriginals NOR recently.

Got any more stupid questions?

hi,

see you've bought yourself a pool. we have been looking at Perth property on net and fancy house with pool. what is average cost of pools, which would fit into a normal sized block?

cheers,
ian

You are probably looking at about $20,000 for an average size pool.........then on top of that you have the paving and fencing costs
