74. Congratulations on the introduction of "Chip n Pin" in 2004. Our system is called EFTPOS. It was introduced more than 20 years ago.
75. No, Australians aren't necessarily sincere when they ask "How are ya?", just as Poms aren't necessarily sincere when they ask "You alright?". It's just a common greeting. Don't lose any sleep over it.
76. It's called a driveway. Feel free to park your car on it, instead of using the kerb, the pavement, the street corner, or your neighbour's verge.
77. You wouldn't drive the wrong way down a road, would you? No, that would be stupid and dangerous. Now you understand why we don't park against the flow of traffic.
78. You're right, two different supermarkets selling the same range of goods is not "choice". In the UK it would be six different supermarkets selling the same range of goods. That's not "choice" either.
79. No I don't have convict ancestors, but you might be one of the 2 million Brits who do.
80. It's called the 21st Century. We like it here, and hope you will too.

82. Yes, Vash always comes along to criticise England (usually with a Wikipedia link) when anyone talks about Australia, even though the thread isn't a dig at Australia but a dig at regular questions. ;-)

83. Don't worry about Vash, you'll get used to him... He's a typical Aussie that gets a bit prickly if he thinks you're taking the piss out of his country...
