lol @ marilyn... those whinging poms, how typical!
RF, same as we say pizza as "pit-za" I guess.
I thought it was "WIMBLETON". I have to admit I've never read it.
What is it?
Bang from Suncoast, Oz
Rhymes with...............? (Clue: begins with an "S")
You know how us aussies love da rhyming slang, eh?
Cheers, Ozzie
Only poms from the north complain. Actually, the further north you go the more the poms whinge.I myself was birthed out of a bog, on a moor in the very HEARTLAND of the whingeing pom.
Now down South where Eman lives....ah! Theyre a cultured lot down there, they preserve the dignity of their heritage.
But this all still begs the question
"Why WIMBLETON"??
Even the bloody NEWSREADERS call it Wimbleton.
Hang on, I know, I know, has is got a "D"?
.... I thought it was "WIMBLETON".....
QUOTE/UNQUOTE.

Eman: Where are ya, mate? At the pub? Now come on, defend those poor poms, mate, before these Orstrarleans run amok!
Cheers, Ozzie
