Personally, I have found that there is no difference between the intelligence or otherwise of Brits and Aussies.

If you look at the message above, in the Another one to add to your list bit at the end kirsty&al gives a statement made about the school system.
I was not trying to be offensive, just trying to ask why it was felt that was ' rude and misleading'.
I just thought it was a light hearted and quite amusing comment....but I am now going to crawl back under my rock before i get chewed up completely

Glad to see you back too!

I had to phone the bank in Australia the other day and I jumped the gun about a question he said "just because you won the cricket dont start getting ahead of yourself"

Just a few people having a banter. If you spend a lot of time reading (but not often posting) eventually you do just jump in with a humourous comment, and people start chatting. Before you know where you are, you are posting drivel with the best of them. I have had (numerous) chats with people I have never heard of before but maybe that's just me
