McDonalds

Ok - we're now into the 3rd day off landing in Perth. With no free wifi access in the hotel we're staying at, we've had to resign to the local McDonalds to get free internet access.

We can seriously consider ourselves as part of the McDonald's fixtures. That's including Speedy Gonzalez (not) - who is a lady in her 50s, serving us coffee behind the McCafe counter. Bless her she's a lovely lady, but MEGA slow! There's also the Chavtastic Five as well - a group of five chaves who permanently hang out outside and inside this particular McDonalds. I'm blogging from McDonalds at the moment, and yes, we have been served by Speedy and also encountered Chavtastic Five. We have both our laptops and our iPad, and Chavtastic Five has been coming in and out of McDonalds passing my way - I've had to be on the alert in case they pounce on any of our laptops.

I thought I'd come back and update this section on Chavtastic Five. As we were about to leave McDonalds, we saw Chavtastic Red handcuffed and taken into a police car. Chavtastic Red wears a red hoody and has red hair to go with his red hoody. Speedy tells us that Chavtatistic Red has been threatening a kid with a knife outside McDonalds earlier today, and also as the kid came out of McDonalds, Chavtastic Red went to punch the kid in the stomach. Well - they're not called Chavtatsic for no reason.

And we're really excited and exasperated at the same time to find out  that Speedy has a son who is just as speedy as her..Speedy Junior.. - we were served a cup of hot chocolate by Speedy Junior one evening, and it took what felt like half an hour to be served a drink in the McCafe!
