exactly! mind you they didnt think it was when i pointed it out to them
"we SHOULD have more trading hours"
"didnt you say a while ago that you voted against it?"
"..."
idiot much?
i never really understood the facination with rides that made you feel ill.
who's going to the show?
then i think i am in trouble. ive only been around this person 18 years![]()
make time for the waroona show swee. smaller. but still good. and less bustle and confusion
i always looked at the exhibits at the show over the rides. apart from the gee-whiz
the show wont be the same for me anymore. it will be weird not going there with my grandmother anymore
"Buried alive", sounds like a ride about small shop owners in free trading environments
Personally I like the way Perth is, but then, when you are used to shopping once a month or so to be able to shop five and a half days a week is a luxury anyway...
I don't mind so much hearing it from residents as they are entitled to that opinion but it does piss me off a little hearing visitors or shorter term residents bad mouth the place.
"I'm so pissed, I got to Death Valley on sundown and the sun went down, they need to put up big spotlights so I can see it at night. Need big evap coolers outdoors too because it was still 40 degrees out there..."

I might be from Sydney, but I have lived in Perth since 1996 (and the 4 years between 1989 and 1993) so i have effectivley grown up here and the fact that you can't go down to shops on a Sunday is joke. What is so scary about the shops being open for an extra day durng the week?

My local IGA is open from 7am-8pm 7 days a week. They can do this because they employ no more than 10 people, so fit within the legal limit.

it would also have something to do with the fact that everyone knows the city is open on sundays.
so thats where everyone goes.
sundays are huge for buisnesses in the city, go stand in forest chase or the hay/murray street malls on a sunday from 2-3pm. if there was trading everywhere else, they would lose the monoply they currently have
I like trading hours as they are in the suburbs, only thing is I'd open a few grocery stores open, because if you work 5 or even 6 days a week then shopping on a Saturday is a nightmare!
Don't open all the little shopping centres like Stocklands, Gateways, Southlands, Belmont etc (they're all SOR, I don't know NOR but the equivalent to them) instead maybe open one major shopping centre servicing each quadrant of Perth - Garden City, Carousel, Karrinyup & Midland Gate. Keep the City & Freo open too.
Yeah, I'm a still counted as a 'short term resident', but I reckon a few adjustments like Laura's said would do the trick for Perth residents- mainly keeping the grocery stores open till 7-8 would be good (yeah IGA is open now, but what if you live near a Woolworths/Coles). Even in Roma (QLD) Woolies was open to around 7 on a weeknight and all the shops there shut at about 12 on Saturday and that's it for the weekend.
I have a hazy memory from when I was in Japan a looong time ago, shops were open 7 days - but not all of them at the same time. I think they each had their own "Sunday" such that at any one time 1/7th of shops may have been closed. I was either drunk or hungover for most of my time there (19 year old male earning good money in a foreign land) so may have it wrong - probably do...

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
