Pete F again in Fremantle is in awe at shopkeeps trying to sell fur hats with earflaps and sheepskin scarves in a Perth summer. You could live your whole life in Perth and not need such headwear. Perhaps they were trying to attract the wallets of visiting Nordic sailors?

The Asia Beat
So that’s what everyone likes today… Fur!
Uggh boots in summer. A fine Gosnells tradition. They bus them in. Fucking tourosts.
Worn in Claremont too, but ironically.
Oh those Claremont housewives.
Maybe they know where Richey Manic is? 4 Real
Like the boots: fuggly.
Peter F in Fremantle sounds just like any other astute businessman who has targeted a niche market. Ride the wave while you can, then adapt the business for changes.
Do you know how many tourists flock to Fremantle from cruise ships, foreign Navies – one US carrier lands up to 5,000 servicemen ashore to spend their hard earned CASH, as well as European & Asian tourists, yes N.E. Asia gets quite cold at times. Guess how many US backpackers go through Freo on their big Aussie adventure??? Its quite funny to see them in Broome & Darwin, with their boomerangs, didge’s & genuine Aussie lambskin coats & hats, packed into their little vans, stuff they have bought for back home.
Have you ever been to a Seamans Mission, & asked how much lambskin stuff they sell???
What about the FIFO miners who work in the far NW & live in Perth, where an ordinary tradie can earn up to $200,000 a year, who decides to take the family to the USA or Canada for the winter cruises up to Alaska & the cross country train journeys. I know of at least 30 families who have done it, & many of the colleagues I have, know their staff who do just that, instead of the Western Australian poor mans OS trip widely subscrbed to, BALI. The one thing they ALL had in common, buying good quality Australian made FUR jackets, hats, mits, gloves & yes Ugh boots.
Yeah, Peter F in Fremantle really sounds like he is a dickhead trying to sell good quality fur items in a tourist mecca.
Yes, hang your head in shame, Peter F.
PJ speaks of a tourist Mecca where they have read their marketing Bible and are raking in the cold hard CASH.
Have you been to a Seamans MIssion, Peter F?
Well, have you?
Wait, are you pro- or anti-Pete F? Is he an astute businessman, or a dickhead?
I think Pete F will be laughing all the way to the bank, rolling around in the cold hard CASH he’s making peddling lambskin hats (and probably opals too).
Dude! Totally! Opals set in lambskin! Is there a bank with a vault big enough for all the cold hard CASH we are going to rake in??
I shall be targeting the niche market of warm, soft CASH. Uggmoney©.
Opals set in lambskin set in jarrah burl….nice.
With googly eyed gumnuts chaser
ya not a west aussie unless you eat quandong off of paperbark, a cold meat pie and a can of emu export — without recoiling and regurging in disgust
Opals in lambskin in jarrah burl IN THE SHAPE OF A DOLPHIN with gumnuts for eyes!
And made in china.
With a swan on it. Mounted on the front of a Commodore parked in some cunt’s lounge room.
With gold hand lettering “A gift from Perth”
I was born a Letraset man …
…you obviously worked in a souvenir shop, with your encyclopedic knowledge of this shite
Not to mention that those hats would be perfect for bald men driving MGs, PJ. Thanks once again for your excellent reply. I too often visit Seaman’s Missions to ask how much lambskin stuff they sell.
Pretty safe bet that Pyjamas has visited the online version of Seaman’s E-Missions but only at night-time.
pete (not peter) f is the auteur of this worst.
not the businessman.
Does the Seamen’s Mission lead to a visit to an obstetrician?
not for pyjamas.
I went on a pilgramage to Fremantle once.
At which shrine did you worship?
Couldn’t get a parking space so I turned Buddhist and went home.
No Cruggs ?
Disclaimer: It’s with some trepidation that I comment as one of my best friends and her family are currently visiting Perth, and may well return to these chillier climes with an Ugg present for me.
Nice colour range
