@dlowan,
Quote:As far as I can see, this story appears a bit of a beat-up anyway.
I'd actually hoped for some good natured bantering between us & the Brits. But they didn't bite.
But if I'm going to treat the story seriously, I'd say we're pretty irrelevant as far as UK interests go, these days ... for good reasons. (Like, for starters, we are not an EU member ...... )
But tell that to the Oz royalists who think of England as "home" & become hysterical at even the
thought of an Oz republic!
