Hi all. Shiny new thread.

OK, i'm happy now I can tut at her now. She is annoying - has she done no research at all before going out there?

Why do they always think these are the only house in the whole of oz?!

Ah that's why she got so upset

Bit mean to send her to that garden with the wall

why are they always so shocked when they get there about what their money will buy them???

Coz they never do research!

I am told that because it gets so hot in the summer, people don't want a garden. I don't understand it personally, but it is really unusual to get a big garden. Land is expensive.

I think you're right about her voice, it has a whiny tone to it.

happy this time with a tiny garden cos it has a pool in it

What was their budget?

Oh no, over budget!

The so-called "outdoor life" should include being in your own garden in your iwn home IMO. Mind you, maybe we Brits are a bit obsessed with our gardens?

Why show them a house 150K over budget? Poor little girls.

£350k

Nice let your kids climb in other peoples furniture with their shoes on

Until you realise that the poorwill only be warm enough to use for 4 months or so a year.

You still can't ride a bike in the garden! Unless it floats!

pool

300,000.

Ah thanks

WE work more hours in Perth than we did in the UK and have never been to the beach after work due to the mozzies and by the time they've finished feeding on the unsuspecting Brits it's dark.

oh wow horse riding - never available anywhere in the UK

Hi Mosman, recognise you from the Living Overseas board. How are you doing?

Yes, how come they are famed for their "outdoor lifestyle" but don't even have a garden? I reckon the UK has much more of an outdoor lifestyle, we just don't go on about it every time we step into the back garden.

Oh Mosman

I always fancied Perth!
