I was doing alright - until I came to the question of speaking English.

As my only visits to Oz have involved waiting for he next flight to NZ - out of Sydney Airport - I have found that it is completely unnecessary to "Speaka da Pomm". You just point to anything you want - and hold out a handful of funny-coloured pieces of paper.

Then just say "Cheersmate" when you get what you're after - and you're off!

Simples! - :smile2: jb
