And culture change

Chuks, thanks for sharing your leather fetish with us - always best to get it out in the open ....

The Australians readily renounce their hard-nose convict image to implement their safety policies - "slip, slap, slop" skin cancer prevention, cycle helmets for all ..... one just hopes that after a few years of this, the resulting generation will be nancy enough to allow other nations to beat them at major sporting activities.

Try telling an Asian on his moped with wife, mother-in-law, two kids and a chicken that he cannot ride at drive at full whack the opposite way in the fast lane of a dual carriage way (mind you, at least he's on the edge) at night with his headlights on full beam. It's worth the loss of a few hundred each year just to maintain this tradition and freedom of choice ......
