    Just as well there are few Americans where I work.
    When I am working in my shed, I enjoy the local ABC Radio afternoon show and they do live crosses to the weather office. Well this mob must be using work experience students, one could be either Indian, Pakistani or Sri Lankan, another is Irish and the third, god knows where he is from but I can't understand any of them. Randomly they have an Aussie girl who actually speaks Aussie, forget the bloody King's English.
    I guess it's a sign of the time's with multiculturalism.
    Crocy.
