Thanks MG. It's going to take an age to go back into the threads to see whats been going on, so I suspect it will have to be a case of 'stumble across it'. Nice to be back, had a wonderful flight out to WA with Emirates Airline (A380-500 Airbus) - nothing was ever too much trouble with complimentary drinks, food etc. A really great journey that took us through Dubai also. You did a great job Emirates Airline!

Thanks Wolf. We loved WA, mind you it's great to be back in England! The one thing that struck us both while over there was the huge distance between shall we say Perth and say Adelaide. Wow its a huge country to live in that's for sure!!

Oh, then there were the 'boy racers' in Perth. It seems the kids, and some not such kids love their V6 or V8's engines with rear end silencers (Ha, that's a joke) the size of buckets! Hence, the roar of the engine can be heard from half a mile away!

Just down the road from Perth, Fremantle is so full of cafe's and restaurants that we wonder how on earth do they make a living, and then there's the cost of bread. Wow, a small loaf of bread costs $4.20 ....that's about £2 here! We currently pay about £1.09 for a large loaf of bread.

Australia cheap, not on your nellie but we did enjoy it. Hope your PC setttles down now Wolf!
