CARNAGE AS NORTH SHORE SLASHING BEGINS

I know this want matter much to anybody really, but I felt I needed to share this quite important piece of information. Some peoples lives may be shattered by this, while others will sit back wearing a self-contented smug and wonder if the inevitable fall in house prices will allow them to purchase a property just a little closer to the promised land. I am of course talking about this:

"PEOPLE have been fretting in the letters page about where Sydney's North Shore begins and ends. My dears, some advice: if you have to ask, they don't want you living there. But let's get it right. The North Shore begins at Boundary Street, Roseville. It runs up the Pacific Highway, and about two kilometres either side of it. East of the highway is far tonier than west. It ends at Burns Road, Wahroonga. Full stop."

Those who have mistakenly bought properties based on your belief that the locality was within the hollowed boundaries, I offer my condolences. Those who have aimed to work their way up the ladder and point out that in all likelihood you are now further away then when you bought your house. The economic impact may very well bring the Australian economy to a halt. That's what you get for voting Labor.
