At least in Perth's outer suburbs there's Chavvilles to even things up. Who knows may even cure home sick English from doing something drastic, like booking a one way ticket back.

So much is simply over inflated and frankly not worth entertaining. That's the reason, I'm being hesitant. We've actually put in a bid at an action and submitted another offer only to have both rejected. Well auction did not reach minimum asking price. Both offers were very substantial amounts. I could buy a small chateau in France for less . I suppose it depends what outrageous price someone is willing to pay for what is after all a roof over one's head. Have you thought about going regional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulya Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Marisawright said: I agree, which is why Melbourne is not the place to be. You say your parents would much rather visit Perth than Melbourne, but why? If they've never lived in Australia they've got no idea whether it's a nicer place than Brisbane/Adelaide/Newcastle etc. They're just romanticising, maybe because they know one or two people who live there. It's true there are lots of Brits in Perth, but do consider that Benidorm is full of Brits and you might not want to live there. Some of the "British" suburbs in Perth have a reputation of being real bogan territory (that's chav to you). It sounds like you need to visit Perth and book an Airbnb in the suburbs you'd be able to afford, then see if it still works for you. Maybe it will. Intelligent post as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found I could go for a walk in Bris in what would be a really pleasant temperature here, 30 degrees or so and I'd sweat like anything in Bris. Especially if I took a backpack, T shirt would be wet through. Horrible weather but Darwin was far, far worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a marketing tactic to counter the wet and cold weather repetition that Perthites tend to have of the region. Especially the principle town (termed city) of Albany. Reminders of Cornish or Irish coasts for those that know those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Get along with chav's better than bogans, likewise closer like you, to my own persona. Although the Cornish chavette two houses up the road yelled out every name under the sun at me after uncovering it was a 'alleged' meth house.

Must be the advent of indoor plumbing in UK. If you read the 1,000 plus comments From Brits on a well known British paper article about showering you’d think differently. Points they stood out were the large number in Britain that shower without soap/shampoo. But the one that really comes to mind was the British businesswoman who travels extensively to the U.S and Australia and couldn’t understand why everybody showers daily. She thought a bath every 3 days was sufficient… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Chav is purely a term invented by a right wing tabloid to porn scorn on the working class. It obviously manifested into broader meanings but generally denigrating the working class . A Bogan on the other hand can be a fairly typical Aussie bloke , can be rather well off indeed and live in an expensive suburb, earning good wedge, with all the toys and trappings a English Chav couldn't begin to imagine. More likely probably to have at least been to Bali and not necessary with the bling and more basic cloth sense. Hope that helps a little.....
