When they relax they might even dust off the vinyl and play a record elbum.
Like the way to spot someone from Sydney is how their voice goes up an octave at the end of every sentence. "I went to the shop the other dayeee"
Or QLD, "Goin to the shop, hey"
Or WA, if you can find one who can speak, the tone of the grunt. LOL
There are plenty of people in Newcastle UK who would tell people from Sydney that it's pronounced "New-cassell" not "New- CARRRSELL"
