hames Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 What, even more variations to remember?! I'm in Melbourne, where is the 'joggers' term used? By the way, the word joggers brings to mind track suit bottoms or slow runners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpingjellybean Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Sydney's northern suburbs can be a bit like this.. Been living in Palm Beach (the next suburb over to Avalon) this past year. And Avalon is exactly like this in some respects. Especially the stripey t-shirt "uniform" for true blue locals. But it is a great area to live in nevertheless.

PaddySunBurn Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 An English Breakfast is a Tea, it is not an English Breakfast . I found out this the hard way when I ordered it , I was expecting an English breakfast but instead received a cup of coffee & a Cup of Tea & a very strange look from the waitress.

That's not such a onerous burden is it? I would have expected "English Breakfast" to be listed under the teas and coffees on the menu, along with Earl Grey.

I found out this the hard way when I ordered it , I was expecting an English breakfast but instead received a cup of coffee & a Cup of Tea & a very strange look from the waitress. That made me chuckle! [emoji2] Did you just sit down and ask the staff if they could do you a lovely English breakfast? And they didn't enquire if you were looking to order some food also? Most cafes actually do sell a full fried breakfast (with their own moniker for it). In my wife's cafe it's currently called a "Full Monty". It's previous name was just "Big breakfast" but that doesn't sound as glamorous and people will pay more for some lyrically descriptive menu items!

Guest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 You mean grilling? Not sure the council would put big public fryers in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northshorepom Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Not a lot of difference between a plate grill and frying, is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Most Aussies would use a Weber type BBQ so proper grilling over a flame. A flat type in the public ones is closer to frying I guess but as the fat runs into a hole in the middle probably not good for actual frying.

unzippy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think it is more terminology at work here. Barbie (AUS) Cooking outdoors. BBQ (US) indirect heat usually from wood, low and slow. BBQ (UK) Cooking over an open flame. Grilling (US) Cooking over an open flame. Grilling (UK) heat source above so you can make cheese on toast. Broiler (US) heat source above so you can make cheese on toast. From what I've seen from my Aus family, they have gas BBQs but only use the flat plate with oil to cook on - shallow frying in my opinion.

SandyBlueMountains Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A school Project is pronounced prowject (row as in row your boat). Not sure about to project your voice, though!! Language is weird, isn't it? If you say "hiya" they will question you about what on earth you're saying! Equally, if you say "alright?" They'll look at their body to see if they have an injury. You should ask "how yer goin" and the reply will be "yeah good thanks". If you've had a few beers the night before, you may be asked the next morning if you've pulled up ok.

BeeBoDee Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Letterboxes being outside your house and knowing that whenever it rains, your post will ALWAYS be left half hanging out of them. Fuse boxes are on the outside of some houses which I find strange. Automatic cars being so common here, and often little difference in price from a manual. I don't know if this is just a WA thing but if I'm put hold when I'm on the phone to someone, when they pick up again they always say "Are you there?".

welljock Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For easy access to read your meter without having to disturb you and/or invade your privacy In most cases in the UK the meter is in a box on the outside but the fuse box is inside.
