Cracks me up, the dirty water in rivers has more to do with. Crappy development, water rights going to large corporate farms, people hooning up and down waterways in jet skis, boats etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her in QLD they have competitions etc for who can catch the most as they want them out of the waterways. Cal x The first crap cull comp was on the Albert River, I do believe. The comp realized 4 tonnes of crap that was given to Charlie Carp fertilizer. They, in turn, donated a few hundred bass fingerlings to enrich the Albert River. A couple of comps were on the Logan River, as well. Alas, it is no more due to high insurance costs. Cheers, Bobj. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Well you all taken a completely different interpretation to "Your one word that separates the UK from Australia" that I did when I read the title of this thread. The word that jumped out to me was "Pasta". Because Australian don't know how to pronounce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do add an r in it for some reason but in fairness those like me who are from the south of England are guilty of doing that with some words.

It’s grarse not grass in my garden and windows are glarse not glass. We all have some funny ways. In the UK there are nearly 40 dialects and goodness knows how many different accents. When I was growing up and playing with my pals we spoke in the local dialect. Probably incomprehensible to some people. I know it was to some of my cousins from England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramot Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Lightbulb . When we were first here, a ‘globe’ light shade broke, my husband went to buy a replacement and was shown ‘what we call lightbulbs’. He explained the size of globe he needed and got a bit angry when told they didn’t come in that size. Light slowly dawned!!

Well, he did say that "history" separates UK pubs from Aussie pubs which means the only pubs he likes were built pre 1788. My main local in Marchwood was built in the 1980s so PB would not like it!

The poms can't agree on how to pronounce things, so it's a bit rich them complaining about other people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
