The second largest city in Western Australia, Mandurah lies just over 70 kilometres south of Perth. It’s home to more than 80,000 locals, although the city’s great amenities and unofficial status as the gateway to the South West means it also attracts its fair share of tourists.

We all know that there’s nothing worse than being dragged out shopping with the missus. If they’re not studiously examining the number of calories in every single packet of biscuits, they’re trying on every dress in the store before buying the first one they tried on (some hours previously). Honestly, don’t women know that blokes have got better things to do, like playing X-box or cutting their toenails. You’d think the ladies would just let their other halves stay at home. If it wasn’t for the fact that the blokes are required to carry the shopping bags, they probably would. If only wheely shopping trolleys weren’t just for little old ladies with blue rinses! You’d think women would realise that if the blokes were left at home, they’d probably be so grateful that they’d get straight on the phone to Fast Flowers and order up some flowers Sydney pronto. While you’re waiting for the ladies to get on to this fact, why not indulge in some of these fabulous antics at your local department store? If nothing else, it will get you barred from the shop and that’s at least one less store you have to walk around for what seems like days on end. Continue reading →
