Re: Scumbags!!
so sad!...possibly for the better that if as your name suggests that you're 'living in WA' . we have just moved back to Scotland from there and what a relief for us..back to fantastic community spirit, good education and boundless future opportunities. yes OMG there are fat people here..call the fat police but as you are very well aware it is no different to Australia..a problem in any westernised country and sadly I fear will become even worse in WA as it becomes more American by the day. My OH who is from WA is aghast at the changes and quite sad at the way WA is socially heading.
Shame you need to post such mindless rubbish but as you see no one takes you seriously...but I guess it does something for you and trolling must be fun!
Enjoy crime free, chav free utopia with your lean cuisine and mineral water!!

May I say that "WA" is not Australia.....
This is a huge country, we live in Melbourne and I feel we're vastly advanced in the arts, food and culture industry compared to Perthites!
Maybe if we'd have gone to Perth, and thought Australia only consisted of "Perth", we might have felt the same as you and your OH!
Good luck!

Re: Scumbags!!

Excuse me, I used to work for ASDA. They are a damn good employer. I wasn't an overweight slob, infact when I worked there I lost a lot of weight because of the sheer amount of exercise I was getting through working there. (working in the produce section does that to you.)
I put in a lot of hours, sometimes between 45 - 50 hours a week, I didn't claim any benefits. I was training to become a manager there (but then life brought me to the US, so
)
Don't judge people that have no choice but to work in places like ASDA. At least they are working and not scrounging off the dole. If Walmart was as good as ASDA, I would work for them again in a heartbeat.

Re: Scumbags!!
My God, some people....
What makes you think the food in ASDA is shite? You get what you pay for, and for what you pay, you get excellent quality in ASDA. Too many people want something for as little as possible then have the cheek to moan about it when that is what they get!
If ASDA isn't good enough for you, go somewhere else and see if they offer better. No one's stopping you.
There, I just saved a customer service colleague a bad day.

Re: Scumbags!!
And I suppose you think Coles and Woolies are fab quality here? I have had bones in bacon, gristle and god-knows-what in sausages and chicken steaks. The peanuts are like rocks. The dishwasher tablets are crap. I could go on for hours. So I dont care if ASDA is 'shite' and full of E numbers, its got to be a definite improvement on the low choice poor quality crap that is sold here. And if I see one more mud cake I think i will scream.

Did you know that Oz is the only westernised country that still allows an additive which has proven to cause some cancers? Guess what, this additive is found in almost every childs sweet and iced cake. Oz is the country of additives and colourings. It's only in the past few years they've actually had details of what's in the foods on the labels and yet still they can package 'fresh' bread, cakes, pitta etc. and not have to detail kj's, fat's additives etc. Wake up man, you really are saying some ridiculously, incredibly stupid things.Wow you are an ASDA fan arent you

So may I ask where Lorids said that it was and, have you actually lived in WA?

Aspartame, coconut, crap cereal bars full of things I wouldn't feed a dog let alone a child, grisly pies with rock hard pastry, the dirtiest factories I have ever seen and yes, I've seen afew here. Dates changed on processed meats, freezers not at the legal temperatures, milk and frozen foods not stored correctly. God, I could go on and on.

Re: Scumbags!!
Unfortunately I think scumbags are an international phenomenon. We have one living across the road from us - very nice area and usually we dont have any trouble but a lady is renting a house opposite and she has recently shacked up with a chappie who has difficulty containing his temper and his language. One of the great Aussie adjectivally challenged chappies. His range of nouns isnt that great either and let us say nobhead is very mild in comparison with what he calls his lady love. I find that arguments around here are much louder than anything I have heard in UK - some of that may be due to the shonky building but I think Aussies in general are not shy about having violent shouty matches in the street. Probably not quite as bad as PNG on govt pay day but close.
