Re: The cost of flood and storm damage …
5 years ago I went with a friend to stay with her family for a month . Adelaide. What a smashing place to live. The city so clean and cosmopolitan. In that whole month I never saw filth or rubbish on any pavement or thrown to the side of the road. In the city it was spotless and people so friendly . I loved the trams too . Of course a month was not long enough but given the chance and if my family came I'd leave England in a moment and move to Adelade .Speaking with someone from Australia recently I was surprised to hear from him that there is resentment from Australians towards immigrants regarding jobs so that could be uncomfortable . It may be false information of course .
I loved Australia, the sun each day , the lifestyle .

Didn't make it as far as the Gold Coast or the Barrier Reef, but maybe next time...when we've saved up for a year or two..

I heard on the weather you were likely to cop it tonight Judsy.
Think tomorrow is going to be better though.

I know you shouldn't laugh, but my local Lidl in Mirfield is next to a huge field that was at least three feet deep in water. There is a sign there saying that new `luxury homes` were going to be built there. Strikes me that someone in the Kirklees council planning department has taken a back-hander.

I didnt go to Perth keezoy . I'll never get the chance to visit again but it's a place I would have loved to have lived
