I'm available for proof reading to remove Americanisms from articles 🤪🤣

Oh yes Joydie! I was about to let fly myself 😁

Well, bit hard for me ..... I live nowhere near Sydney!

Just as well my hubby has passed away, mate! He'd have argued they are an essential food group 🤣

I felt sort of the same when my local council published names & photos of volunteers doing library deliveries. I was taught charity (including volunteering) meant not asking for thanks or wanting recognition but the world has changed so much now it seems doing something for others is another way...

Yet another reason for not buying rubbish made in China for me ..... got burnt buying tshirts which were supposed to say Hippie Soul but instead say Hippil Sovl.

Same! Best thing I ever did getting an induction cooktop! No more mess - ever!

Mud cakes always remind me of my teen years 🤪 Used to babysit for friends of family & the dad always made us a mud cake which we ate warm with really icy cold icecream = so decadent! It's the only way I eat mud cake, still, 50+ years later! I must mention he was a chef & that was his go-to treat...

Even if you weren't a truck driver, you'd still be in the right!! That car driver needs a lesson or two in a truck .....

Yeah. One day people might learn that their fun facts/options do not actually apply to other people..... especially the young!

My darling hubby gave me a plastic ring out of a cereal box when he proposed. I still have & treasure it because it showed his romantic & funny side. I did get a normal engagement ring later but he chose that too .... and my wedding ring & he gave me a maternity ring when we got pregnant the...

My mum used to say older children (and adults) who sooked hadn't been acknowledged when toddlers......

My little bloke demanded that I 'kill the father spider!' (Daddy long legs) then cried like a banshee 'because what about his children!!'

I totally agree with you, Ricci! It's good to know such etiquette but very few of us regularly dine with the queen 🤣 though I have one friend who thinks she's Australia's equivalent. I love dragging out my cake forks and splayds for her just to show I haven't lost my class, lol 🙃

Before the pandemic I travelled a lot but know I'm different to many travellers & not really motivated to see tourist hot spots . The top of my list is same continent as Egypt but all the natural wonders of Africa - so many beautiful countries from top to bottom!

And American....

Oooh! Fancy assuming that all Aussies are the same based on one encounter ......

Oh, it's sad how many people see conspiracies in everything but the pandemic has been an eye-opener how many people are!! As I've mentioned previously, I'm an IT nerd & I can reliably tell all the worry-warts a few things about retail & supermarkets in particular....... digital price tags have...
