As a Brit, who is now an Aussie (also), let me tell you it is more
confusing down-under.  Here you get a mix of American-isms and
English-isms!

And don't get me started on their slang
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A20361827).  Apparently, Durex is a
brand of sellotape (or sticky-back-plastic) although I have never seen
any of that yet!
