Not sure why you are encouraging our Scottish friend to go to Oz, it has the major disadvantage of being full of Australians (apart from Bondi which is of course mainly Kiwis). I'm sure a proud Scot wouldn't want to be associated with a bunch of ex-convicts and underarm bowlers...

Righto I'll bite:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we've just landed in Auckland so put your watches forward two hours and your calendars back twenty years."

Sorry MOR old son but I just couldn't let that one through to the keeper without playing it (which is more than McKechnie did!)

We like to think that England was simply exporting its export-quality sons and daughters. Certainly operated to shallow up the gene pool a bit back home...

And on that note, having effectively alienated most of PPRuNe, I'll put on my flame-proof suit and make a Harry for the door.
