Awww, diddums! Why buy into an area because it has good drinking and dining, only to to whinge when you get a bit older and grumpier? Go back to the suburbs and tell your mates from Fitzroy to do the same while you’re at it.
I’d be so annoyed if I finally get back to Australia, all set to enjoy decent serving hours, only for a few whinging yuppies to have shut them down.
