Michael Aivaliotis Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 I noticed that Australians say: "Works a treat". Is it a common saying over there? Quote

crelf Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 This is just a sample of the language my dad would use after spending the morning trying to start the lawn mower. Your dad's language isn't quite as colourful as the trying-to-start-the-bloody-lawn-mower language I remember as a kid, but LAVA's naughty-word filter wouldn't let me get those ones through... Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Posted May 15, 2006 It just sounds better if you say "Works like a treat". Can you get that changed for me? Ya, thanks, appreaciate it... Quote

Actually, the bloke you want to have a yarn with is John Howard - and, as luck would have it, he's stateside right now - you might bump into him on his morning walk, or at the pub tossin' back a coldie...
