Re: You know you are in Australia when...
You have bar-like conversations with Woolies checkout girls. Today, I collected my son from college and we popped into Woollies for a few things on the way home. The chirpy smiling checkout girl says to us "Happy Poets Day", Yeah okay I thought and smiled politely back at her. Next she says "Do you know what poets day is all about?" "...Uh no" I replied. So she shouts at the top of her voice "P**s Off Early - Tomorrow Saturday!!!" and then proceeded to laugh uncontrollably like an Aussie Barbara Windsor. :dropjaw::bemusedlook: x 2

As it should be. Anything other than white toilet roll should be illegal, it's so wrong

Scented? how? lemon, rose petals, cinnamon. mountain spring, flowered meadow, spring shower? It's still poo, just flush quick and often.

I have no idea what the smell is supposed to be but the one time I bought it by mistake the pack had to stay out on the verandah for a fortnight until the smell had gone. I'd rather smell shit to be honest.

Agree. My place of employment had air 'fresheners' in the toilet. Every so often it sprayed a mist of cinnamon. I do not know what mixes with poo, but CINNAMON certainly does not! A more revolting grouping of er... aromas I have never encountered.

Re: You know you are in Australia when...
Its foul isn't it, I loathe the toilet roll aisle in the supermarket, makes me feel physically sick cos of the scents. I'll only buy the hypo-allergenic rolls, they can't put scent in those :sneaky;
