Yes! Totally unimpressed. It may be stronger than ordinary Tetley (which is not hard) but it still tastes like dishwater. Not that I've tasted dish water mind you but I imagine it tastes equally rubbish!
I have recently discovered Twinnings Traditional Afternoon Tea (purple box) - which keeps me comforted in the moments of anguish when my PG Tips run out.

You forgot the most important whinge of all...
I hate it that the elastic in the underpants rots out after only a few months AAAARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!! Back home I could get at least a year out of a pair before the skid marks built up to a unbearable level. Here I have to throw out perfectly good undies because they keep migrating to my knees all the bloody time

Ah so you are coming back then? I do wonder you know. And yeh I reckon Thirlemere/Tahmoor or Bargo is gonna be the closest I get to having acres and being near enough to the beach to surf - unless you can lend me a couple of $mil.

Re: The things that bug me most............
We was looking at that area...from Stanwell Park down to Thirroul but stopping short of the Gong. We rent on the Northern Beaches but want to buy and I think we would get better VFM on southern beaches. Direct train line to Sydney is a bonus and even the drive is pleasant. Thoughts?

Re: The things that bug me most............
here's my list
Get a grip people, this is AUSTRALIA not the UK, accept that it's different and get on with enjoying this marvellous place and its people. Agree its a marvellous place, people however seem to think its still a country like the wild west...morons....poor social skills when in public and no concern for others.
TP
(edited to say: this is not aimed at the OP, its just things that bug me the most)
- People who move to Australia and expect it to be the UK - Agree
- People who whinge that things are more expensive than the UK -Agree but true
- People who whinge that things are slower than the UK - They are!!
- People who whinge they pay more tax than they did in the UK - They do, poor system set up by inadequate idiots!
- People who whinge about the police being stricter than in the UK - Disagree, police here are ill kempt, corrupt and inefficient
- People who think they are better than Australians, particularly at driving (there are equally as many poor drivers in the UK too you know!) No there isn't...I am going to bring out a safety video to highlight to Australian drivers what those funny little orange lights that flash are for...idiots!
