I'm sick of been called a country Hick and other stupid insults. For all you people that think that we go to bed at 9pm think again. and we do have night clubs that are open all night. I would like to know where you get your information from and what gives you the right to insult us the way you do.????

I love Adelaide! My husband and I are planning to emmigrate to Adelaide in the next year or so. We visited 4 years ago during Easter and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great pubs, beautiful botanic garden and enchanting people.
Our favorite part is the Wine Institue. I developed my palate there. The cost of living is reasonable, and there does not seem to be a racism problem there.
You must have been talking with ignorant people. People are afraid of what they don't understand.
Be proud of your home town.

I wouldn't worry about it luv, I live in Western Australia so we get the same sort of treatment, but we're so far away and our weather's so nice that we just don't give a rat's... :)
We all have certain prejudice's towards different states mostly born from rivalry. I love Melbourne personally, but the first chance I get I'll tease anyone who says they're from Victoria, not out of any dislike for the state but because that's just what's done. I don't take offence when someone says I'm a bit backward because I live in WA and they don't take offence when I call them bloody Victorians (my Dad's a Victorian too, so dinners are interesting ;P). My best advice is to let it roll off your back or say a few things back about their state, that's probably what they're after anyway.

I dont think everyone hates Adelaide, its known as a nice place. However your drivers can be very incosiderate sometimes, Melbourne & Perth drivers are much more courteous - ie they will let you change lanes if you indicate.
Remember, 20 years ago everyone took the piss out of Melbourne, its just Adelaides turn for a while. Chill!

This is news to me. I have never heard anything bad about Adelaide - quite the opposite. Queenslanders are far too preoccupied with hating New South Wales to have any attention left for South Australia.
I thought we all teased Tasmanians anyway.

I haven't heard of this. I live in rural Victoria and most people prefer Adelaide to Melbourne because it is so much friendly and cleaner. If those people think Adelaide is a hole then they should come to my town.

i come from Sydney and i have never heard about hating Adelaide. most people like it for the great bands that come out of that state. i guess people just assume that because its a smaller state that nothing happens there...

You keep electing Alexander Downer. What are we meant to think?
