Camden in Sydney? That's appalling. It's bad enough to be presented with a screen like in the OP. Needing to actually speak to a person to not have a tip added sounds probably illegal.

Camden Town in London actually; historically counterculture, but punk is dead at The Cheese Bar.

Ah right, cheers. Tbh my first guess was that it might be a place in Britain, but I didn't know so I Googled it and all the results were about Sydney (including one from brittanica.com...).

Well, we did almost end up in Canberra at one point, but as luck would have it the wife's boss didn't support the transfer. It's no Sydney, but anything would have been better than staying stateside. I don't really miss it, and all my friends say it's worse now 🙂

Your friends are correct.

Sorry about that. I wish everyone with the sense to leave had the option.

I wish enough people had a spine that it wasn't necessary.

Yes, if it had been in Australia. Report it when you see it.
