Which Way does water go down the plug hole
Can anyone in Oz please tell me what way the water goes down the plug hole. My mates at work are asking if I noticed if it went down the opposite way to England, and stupid me spent my time enjoying myself instead of studying the water flow.

It must be true if it's in the Simpsons...
Bart: Uh, yes. Uh, ahem, this is Dr. Bart Simpson of the International Drainage Commission. It's an emergency.
Tobias: If it's an emergency, then.
Bart: We understand some drains in your area have been malfunctioning, sucking in people and...whatnot.
Tobias: Willikers! That's awful.
Bart: [gravely] Indeed. We need you to check your sinks and toilets and tell us which way the water is going, and please! Stand clear.
[Tobias checks sink and toilet]
Tobias: [breathless] The fixtures...they're all draining clockwise, Sir!
