Hey, Me again.
You're not wrong Norm,
Us Aussies are a weird mob down here.
In the '50's An Italian Fella', by the name of Nino Culotta, arrived in Sydney.
His book, "They're A Wierd Mob" was a real hit. A clever comedy of the lives of a limited cross section of Aussie middle class.
Language contained in it, like, "Smack us in the eye with another lump of dodger, thanks." It typified how middle class communicated.
Translation: Pass over a slice of bread.
It was made into a movie in the 60's. Brilliant stuff in its day.
I would like to obtain a copy and send it to my Daughter in Law in Arizona.
Cheers Marty
