Re: Words
Speaking of words reminds me of an incident not long after arriving here. The young lady in the office said, 'can you pass me the Durex'!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have a number of words here we use which many others do not, a can of beer is a 'tinnie' but so also is a small aliminum boat confusing !!!!!!!
But Durex was abit much, then I discovered that the Durex she refered was in fact Selotape, oh how we use words.
The I began to understand, it is not possible to stick two pieces of paper together with a condom, but worse still would be attempting to use Seloptape as a contraseptive, you could end up in avery sticky situation!!!!!!!!!


Happy daze John in Oz.
