Odin - I stand by what I said - it's human nature - we are always intolerant of people who are different to the way we percieve ourselves.

It doesn't matter whether you live in Berala, Sefton, Auburn, South Hobart, Chigwell or Gagebrook - the intolerance is the same.

BTW - intolerance can even be found in country towns - I spent 20 years in various postings across country NSW - you won't believe the level of intolerance that sits just below the surface.

Bathurst is a prime example - there's them (the blow in public servants and new people to town) and us (the people who can trace their family back several generations in town)

There is not much cross-over between the two groups and in some country towns its much worse than that.
