Re: Sunday papers OZ style very different to the UK

Sorry, but you mentioned hoons in post 3 of this thread.

As your initial post seemed to be getting at people who dis the UK because of crime (when in fact crime is comparable in both countries)...

Re: Sunday papers OZ style very different to the UK

Maybe this depends on where one came from and where one has gone.

I have not seen as many memorials here as I saw in the UK (over an equivalent time frame). I have also noticed that the...

Re: Sunday papers OZ style very different to the UK

Re: How much do you spend?

I think the words "small scale" sums up my point; I would be surprised if Salmon farming is bigger in Aus than it is in Scotland.

Re: How much do you spend?

Premises are cheaper here so this accounts for a lot of the saving.

Also UK take away is subject to an extra 7.5% of sales tax.

On your salmon question earlier. I would imagine that there is...

Re: Does anyone have any experience of putting up a big shed in NSW (rural)

I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high."

A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."
