christopher Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 To be fair I think this thread is meant to ne light hearted, but on a serious note, any issues I have with Australia/Australias culture is my problem not theirs, after all I am the foreigner in their country and I chose to come here. I'm sure Aussies would find it strange that a place called Slaithwait in Yorkshire is pronounced 'Sla-wit' :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Aussies would find it strange that a place called Slaithwait in Yorkshire is pronounced 'Sla-wit' :-) Thanks it IS supposed to be light hearted and a chance to have some fun. Are we not allowed to be amused (and yes annoyed) by the cultural differences of living in a different country? I speak 'Strayan like a local, taking on all the local terms and slang...that's called fitting in. Please don't equate it with the likes of Brits in spain who 'don't like eating all that foreign muck, wheres the fish and chips?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
