[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 621311, member: 39190"] Haha! I had to laugh at this, Big E. Let me tell you; here in SA there is also a very definate perception. No cold hard fact but here it is.. I think you'll like it as far as it backs up your hypothesis; The Western Cape region does not work as many hours and generally our salaries also pale in comparison to those up North. Now there are many factors but we just refuse not too have a lot of time to visit our beaches, wine farms, hike etc etc. Eating out and cooking our own food from our own gardens which we tend ourselves is also big here to name a few. We just don't focus our time as much on work specifically. Now certainly other factors play a part but if you look at distribution of surnames, you'll find the largest proportion of surnames of Frnch origin in the region whereas in the interior you'll find Dutch and German predominantly. So, basically, a microcosm of your own view. We'll mock the Transvalers that they have all the money but no style or quality of life. They'll mock us that we are lazy with no money and they can come down here in the summer holidays and buy all the 'style' and 'life' they need. [/QUOTE]
