Oh Ms M, I felt bad about making you cry, but I also did a little dance of joy (especially since I accidentally appalled a Melburnian over at lj with this story, I suddenly worried that all of my appropriated Australianisms were way off!)
I laughed at the bit where you gave extra points if I was not an Aussie; sort of half and half. I have been here for such a long time but then there are days when I look about and just gape. Usually over sport ... But I was so happy that you 'got' the bit that it could have been anywhere out of England; they just needed to escape and find each other.
And you've reminded me that I need to go to Robertson and do a potato run (they have the best range in NSW!)
