You know you're in Perth when....

[Edna]

YKYIPW

 

Your have carried your baby daughter in your arms across from the car park to the beach play area, you see what looks like a nice clean shiny platform. Your just about to relieve your tired arms and put your baby daughter down on the platform, and realise its a flaming hot BBQ, and in the nic of time you stop!

 

Just can not get use to the open door BBQ's for the life of me! But I still love them.

lol did anyone see you?

[Edna]

lol did anyone see you?

 

No, just my daughter gave me a funny look!

 

Will never ever make that mistake again.

When everything costs twice as much as anywhere else, just because they can! Getting annoyed by the overcharging....

[Guest Guest6235]

....When you see on the news almost on a daily basis that a car has driven into a house.

[h283]

When Perth people go on holiday it is either 'down south' 'up north' or 'over east'

 

This cracks me up.

[Scot01]

That's what you get from living in one of the most isolated cities in the world. Don't forget Bali and Rottnest.

[abc]

You hear whinging poms everywhere!!!! Lol

[Edna]

YNYIPW, you meet other people and they are so kind to you for no reason or wanting anything from you.

[Guest Guest6235]

Where was that particular place Edna?

[Plimthing]

yeah I'd like to know where that is too edna!

You know your in Perth when...The overwhelming pressure to be the same as everybody else is only bettered by the overwhelming isolation when you choose not to be the same as everyone else.

Happy Christmas! Cant wait for Easter!

[Give me a break!]

When you own a 4x2 and your OH buys you a brand new Mercedes SLK for Christmas, having left the UK 5.5 years before with just £10,000 to our name when the doomsayers said we'd starve!

[Give me a break!]

When you work for a supermarket and earn $22.00 an hour for the first 10 hours per week, then $27.00 per hour after that, then double time Sunday's and double time and a half public holidays, unskilled just serving those customers.....

[Guest Guest6235]

.....when......just got back from somebody my wife works with who is an ozzy and very nice. We spoke to her and husband ok for hour and half........then all of a sudden 4 couples with kids came in plonked themselves down turned their backs on us (we were at the end of the table) and all just started yapping away amongst themselves about. I've mingled with plenty of people through work and sport in the past, so been used to the pi$$ taking and been one of the lads, so found this very rude. We gave it 45 mins to see if things changed ..... but nah ....cleared off. The couple who's house it was are very nice. The problem was the very rude 4 morbidly obese Australian couples that never acknowledged us.

I'm confused, what is the relevance of 'morbidly obese'?

your host was to blame, they should be ensuring that all parties are introduced.

[Guest Guest6235]

I did actually say to my wife when we got home that the hosts were very nice but I thought they should have introduced us. Still though you don't go turning your chairs round.

[Give me a break!]

So your hosts were four table settings away from you and you sat like that for an hour and a half four empty chairs away from each other? Why did you sit all on your own at the other end of the table?

[Guest Guest6235]

Sorry, maybe I should have told you blow by blow account of our moves during our visit. Originally we were not at the end when talking to the hosts, we were sat at outside tables in the middle, I was talking to hosts whilst my wife was up watching my daughter on the trampoline then we swapped. Finally we both got a chance to talk to them as my daughter wanted a sit down on our knees. By the time other guests arrived my wife and I were in the house playing on a toy with my daughter. As there were no place settings and very informal the other guests plonked themselves along both sides of the table leaving two empty seats at the end. When we sat down they were still square on to the table and then they turned. Hope this clears it up......drawing in post if still confused.

I'm sorry if the question offended you but, that was not how the post came across . I suppose they must have all known each other well and sometimes you make allowances for that, wether they are obese or not But if you were offended then just don't go again, Life's too short.

[Guest Guest6235]

No worries, it didn't offend, sorry my response sounded like that. I was just clearly or trying to clearly answer your question about seating plans.

Really?!

What part of Perth do you live in? That is absolute nonsense.
