It feels like being back in the UK, but without the class and style.

Class and style being M&S, Next and pandering to advertisement and media impressions of how you should dress of course...

There is something very real about Australia. Embracing that and just not worrying about the crap of how other people dress is a good thing.

Sorry I forget you are not allowed to point out any personal negatives about Aus on this forum..
I think I may embrace Aus and throw all of my shoes away and use a slang term for just about every aspect of the English language.
I am here in Aus and staying as I have no interest in returning to the UK, this does not mean I am legally obliged to find all the annoying things "real" and quaint..

I agree with Borehamwood... I'd like to take issue with the class and style, The S's.

Just because it's classless (") and styleless where you live, it isn't here.

Everyone in the mts wears hats in Winter, and I just purchased my 4th the other day.

Even the British don't wear hats any more. If wearing a hat is not the epitome of style and class, then I want to know what is.

Thank you.

If you visit the BM's in winter, stop me and say hello.

I dare say you might recognize me.

There are specialist clubs you could go to that full face masks are actively encouraged
Do you have any of those in the BM's?
