AT RESTWould you go into your local woolies or coles supermarket wearing budgie smugglers or even the G sting bikini?
My sister livers at Rosebud in Vic and I stayed over night on friday.
It's the height of the terrorist season there at the moment, where people spend a month or longer camping on the foreshore, The locals call them terrorists and I can start to see why.
The illegal letting off of fireworks gets residents dogs going crazy.
The locals go shopping at the supermarket and have to see the back side of G string bikinis, ( if you've got the body then flaunt it) but I witnessed itin the supermarket and call me old fashion but it's not proper attire in My opinion, and definitely not budgies leaning over the meat counter
The Supermarket is always running out of stock so locals need to drive further a field to get stuff.
An incidence of a local who goes to a coffee shop every morning and has his own corner with a table and chair was told he was not welcome during the holiday maker season, he is taking up spaceA loyal customer, the owner will probably beg him to come when the summer rush is over and he needs a customer.
The traffic, especially since the holiday makers have there own road rules. It takes locals sometimes 40 mins to do a 5min trip.
The cops are kept busy enforcing the no alcohol in the open rule, and I witnessed that on friday night on a drive over a few kms past the sites, people walking down the streets sucking on mixed drinks and stubbies. Unmarked police cars and officers in plain clothes booking people left right and centre. I witness a lot of empty bottles being thrown over fences and along the foreshore, the drunken youth walking along the road holding each other up so they don't fall over.
The locals are left with the mess and clean up after the terrorists finally leave.
It was an eye opener for me on how people behave whilst they are on holidays forgetting that people actually live in the invaded area.
It's a long 2 months for the locals.
Kind feel sorry for the locals that have to live there.
I have never seen this behaviour at other touristy beach places, interstate etc. I might be a Mornington penisula thing???

Have to live there?

I am not a fan of budgie smugglers. I find them too tight.
I do have a pair of eagle smugglers though that I occaisionally wear in the pool.

SupporterI understand that tourists can carry on and upset the locals.
But I have to laugh when people that live in nice tourist based communities bitch about tourists coming in and spending their $. Most of these areas are only attractive to live because they are built on the tourist $, they are usually totally reliant on the money spent in town by these undesirables.
Bit like Airlie Beach, the locals bitched about jetstar/Virgin bringing in all the undesirables, then they bitched like hell when the GFC hit, then the aus$ climbed and all the aussies went overseas for holidays and their community sank with businesses going down, huge job losses and the biggest drop in property prices nationwide (Island homes were selling for less than %20 of their pre-GFC price, now they sell for half pre GFC price). They seem to forget that without tourist trade the town would not exist, or at best would be a couple of homes with no amenities.
For the record I live on the bay (in Brisbane) and every weekend my neighbourhood is an absolute **** fight with everyone coming down to the bayside parks for a cool breeze. Doesn’t worry me 1 bit, I figure if everyone is heading over here on their day off it must be a good spot...
And no, it is not right to go shopping in smugglers, but then again, look around, there's a lot of people who wear inappropriate clothing.

Yeah! we get the same up here in Qld as I live and shop on Bribie Island it is the same during "Terrorist" season, nothing worse than an ageing man or woman 65+ who is 10+ kilos overweight shopping in budgies and a bikini designed for somebody in their 20/30'sbut it will return to normal after the school holidays
and don't start me on wet Feral kids running up and down the isles in their togs while mummy or daddy talks on the phone

No. That's a sight I couldn't even bear to look at myself.
Women would be covering their children's eyes.

Only wear my budgie smugglers if going to the supermarket on a Saturday . . . Any other day just doesn't do it for me
