    and I'll tell you something else for nothing. If I'm driving on an empty road, noone in sight, and I want to pull off, I dont indicate!!

      Because there's bugger all to do over there. Except herd sheep.

        Without correct punctuation and capitalisation, it is very hard to know what you mean.

          Thats the correct way of driving
          Observe then manoeuvre
          If, whilst observing, you see that no one would benefit from a signal then don't signal!

            I don't think any of us indicate when we want to pull off.
            We just do it, at an appropriate time of course.

              So you start a business in Australia importing wellies for sheep herders

                exacterly.

                i observe my punctuation, if leaving it out does not damage the meaning ...well

                  You obviously haven't been near a cash machine on a Saturday night with a bunch of young Americans crowding round it.

                  The deafening sqeals of excitement and squawking American accents are like feeding time for the parakeets at Birld World.

                  Makes a bunch of Aussies sound positively sedate by comparison.

                    Yep, but Anti-Americanism's kind of established already and a bit predictable. Besides, they can't take a joke; have a go at the Americans and they'll bomb your house. And the local primary school.

                      Oz

                      The biggest population of illegals in Australia are the Brits - that's well known.

                      Australia is a fantastic place. Australian's that live in Oz are actually quite conservative - more than the British who are pretty out there compared to most nations. The Aussies you see backpacking in London are living it up.

                      Australia is a great place to live. But its not a great place to accumulate wealth because of taxes, high living costs and limited career opportunities. Best to go there with money to kick back, bring up kids and live the outdoor life.

                      I'm not Australian - i'm a Brit but I lived in Oz for 10 years before leaving for Asia recently.
