Guest Unha99Y Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 2nd way. What a glorious language in that case, a network device pronounced the same way as a woodworking tool. A bugger if you come across a shop that stock both :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish.01 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Its funny u guys mention barefoot everywhere, as a teenager I regularly went out without shoes, into the city with just togs (swimmers) and a sarong or went shopping etc and didn't think anything of it. Now I've lived in the UK for a bit I still hate shoes (wear flip flops even in winter/snow!) but appreciate the need for shoes in public places...especially as my English OH hates feet! :eek: The day we lose the bare feet thing will be a sad day for Australia IMO...I love seeing people like that but can understand some types of people from cold countries not understanding it fully :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest37336 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 That when I walked into a fishing tackle shop I wasn't ripped off,:notworthy: And if I ever fancied a fishing session (especially) Broome I could go at any time of the night to a servo and get my bait. Saved many a sleepless night,:notworthy:. Cheers Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
