...and yet you Eastern Staters still make jokes about us Perthites being dense...
I just realised why this statement was bothering me so much. I know a lot of Perth folk. I know a lot of Eastern States folk. Probably equal numbers of each, maybe even more WA people. I hear a lot of people in WA talking about all the nasty things the ES say and think about them.
And I don't honestly recall ever having heard these sorts of comments from anybody in the East. Maybe I don't watch the right programs, maybe I don't have the right friends, but I have never heard all the stuff that seems to be attributed to the ES when it comes to bagging WA.
So, where is it coming from? Is it the perception that this is probably what the ES think, spouted as fact? Is it a couple of loudmouths in fandom or on TV being thought to be representative of 10 Million people?
Not having a go at you personally on this, cheshirenoir it just happens that I've nailed why I find it offensive on this post, rather than at another time.
