The Perth Thread

Pretty sure BBC Hardware were the ones with three giant coloured balls on sticks on the roof of each store, which from memory O'Connor has.

Yep. You'd be right then.

I rarely go to SCA but popped down one day to pick up something without even realising it had burned down. They've built a new one next door now, but it's SCA so it still sells shit.

Had no idea they'd rebuilt it. Keep wondering what they plan to do with the vacant land. I started going to the O'Connor one when it burned down and never looked back. That whole area is a nightmare on weekends. I haven't had any complaints about the stuff I've bought there.

I'm old school, I remember before SCA came to town and we had Marlows. They had a better range of quality auto parts. SCA has a lot of cheap and nasty stuff.

Something is going up on the opposite corner of Leach/North Lake also. There has been vacant land there for donkey's years which was used a private sellers car yard each weekend. I think it's going to be some sort of health facility.

Yeah it's aged care. Owned by the same mob a bit further up the road.

Presbyterians I think. Probably getting a whole heap of tax rorts to build something that will run at a profit.

 

[The Speaker]

The only stores I knew of with the three poles were Hardwarehouse, but, looking it up, that makes sense because they were owned by BBC.

 

[Underdog]

Would be quite nervy as an investor starting a business there - will they come and if they do will they stay

Perth people are quite perculiar like that IMO

The Brookfield Place development has been a pretty big success.

I'd also imagine with regard to office space that the area with have significant prestige.

Some Silent Hill shit out here.

Real mini pub crawl - it's only 11.45 and your home posting
Age catching you Keyser

Age caught me a long long time ago CP

As it turned out my timing was impeccable getting home. Only waited two minutes for a train and a bus was there ready to go when I got off the train which happened to be the last one for the night

New Myaree Krispy Kreme store is open.

oh party time!

That whole block is death by car already anyway. O'Connor Bunnings ftw.. as much as you can call any Bunnings a win.

Bunnings at Cockburn is never really busy. If you live that far south, that is

Have been known to go there on occasion too.

Still stop in for a sausage sizzle at bunnings on the weekend over krispy kreme

 

[Teriyakicat]

We're off to AQWA today. Haven't been for years. Knowing how ex$pen$ive it is, I think I'll just send the kids in and hubby and I will sit down somewhere and feed our faces.

Always disappointed when I go to Bunnings during the week to see no sausage sizzle there

[chargers 09]

Looking at moving to Perth with the company I work for around Xmas time. Should be a good change.
Any tip/suggestions? Was looking into Subiaco at this stage.

 

[lewigie]

Subiaco is okay.. just don't turn into a w***er

 

[Borry]

Good old Canning Vale.

Where the queues for a KFC restaurant are like this

If KKs is anything like this then I would rather make my own donuts or get them from 7 eleven.

KFC line is always long because they are so slow

 

[Borry]

I have to admit I walked inside and observed the service to see if it was worth it, and they have this practice of only one person behind the counter who serves a customer and then goes away to prepare that order in its entirety before serving the next.

As this was Livingston the only other decent options were Subway and Oporto so I went to the latter in the end, where there was no queue, but the extra $3 for average saucy piri piri chicken was worth avoiding KFC when in the mood for poultry.

Depends what you are after.

I went into the new Krispy Kreme store tonight about 6ish as I had to pick something up from Bunnings. They have a marquee thing set up and had cordoned off half the carpark to have an extended drive through queue, complete with people in high vis directing traffic. The **** has Perth come to?

I walked in (about 20 or 30 metres from where I had parked, not exactly a trek) and bought a doughnut, then walked back to my car. Meanwhile a good dozen or so cars sat there idle. Just like the last time I had a Krispy Kreme doughnut it was pretty underwhelming. For $8 you can get a milkshake and two doughnuts. Diabetes come on down.

Well the majority of people going to KK aren't going to be the walking type
