storm, finally roars up in her ageing Holdern .....
Sorry Tabouli, the whole Melbourne/Sydney thing leaves me cold. I visited
Melbourne once and though 'I could live here'. Such a shame that I don't.
(Melbourne has a great vegan shoe shop)
re the 'come with' I say that! I thought everyone did though. My family are
ex-South Africa so maybe I inherited it from them.
storm, who has never been able to tell the differences in Australian accents but
says 'plahnt' and oddly enough 'haitch'.
