Is this *really* a stub? I'm not sure there's that much more to say about the Doctor. I live in Perth, and I can't think of anything else. :-)

I added a few paragraphs and removed the stub. I hope I didn't do anything bad :) Gazjo 06:56, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

contrary to "Contrary to popular belief in other parts of Australia, no one in Perth actually calls the sea breeze the 'Fremantle Doctor'." I think that they do. Perhaps not in Freo. Kids complaining about the heat would be told "The doctor will be here soon!" Perhaps I can find a citation in WA Lit. but the above statement needs to be verified.--Fred.e 16:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I removed that paragraph (which I had done a few months earlier too). It is refered as the Fremantle Doctor in Perth (as the first paragraph states). Gazjo 12:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
It is much better now. Regards Fred.e 16:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Some years ago either a uni mob, csiro or other institutionally based sceince mon tried to quantify it with a range of tests/scientific thingies - and couldnt come up with a sufficient pattern and said - a bit like the late douglas adams level of logic in his hitchhiker series - because they couldnt find quanifiable patterns it didnt exist. i have no idea (and no I am sure it is not on goggle) where to track the stupid thing down SatuSuro 13:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cricket at the WACA and the "Doctor"
