hehe, yeah.... when i've gone home for visits, i have to constantly translate, i think so much in 'strine these days. cardies, petrol, bikkies, postie, etc etc etc funny how some things stick though, i still call it dinner, i've learned just to say cuppa stead of coffee or tea, i can't translate miles to km's... just little stuff, but it makes you and others aware you're not native it's funny, with a new job, and seeing lots of new people, i've gone back to explaining where i'm from, lol! last night at a function for work, i swear every new person i met, the 2nd thing they asked was - was i irish, scottish, etc etc. it's a good icebreaker.
