VERYSTORMY Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 What concerns does Perth present now? :shocked: I am guessing he means the economy - heading the wrong way now. I am just over the bridge in Southport and now shortage of Houses for sale by Banks at the moment or people selling at losses to just cover the mortgage - we recently benefited from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which Southport you are in, so not sure which country you are referring to UK or Oz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishgirl1 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Good Luck on your move back to Perth, icing on the cake to be with your Daughter too, lots of wonderful travel to Asia from Perth now so many good places and as you said you have the South West with lots to see and drink :-)), I have to disagree we do have heating costs not as much as the UK but we do use heating in Perth, all the best x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest 47403 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Amazing how anyone wanting to move back to the UK gets the cyber arm thrown around them, the words of comfort against that nasty place called Australia, but god forbid anyone who MBTTUK and realises it was a mistake and wants to go back to Oz the daggers are straight out!

Isolation, the whole of Australia is isolated. for retired people who do not really want buzz or decent clubs its OK, but I found when people got to about 19 they needed something else than the most isolated city in the world.

Guest guest30085 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) for retired people who do not really want buzz or decent clubs its OK, but I found when people got to about 19 they needed something else than the most isolated city in the world. I went in my early 20s, then late 20s and early 30s, found plenty of house parties, pubs, watched local bands play, went to pubs which were jammers, or showing sport (particularly AFL) so full again and even managed nights out in nightclubs .... did you never leave Two Rocks???

Like I've said before.. I don't imagine that many young people flock towards Stratford upon Avon either. To be fair I've never been yet but it doesn't look very exciting from what I've saw online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
