Well yeah that's right, carrying a knife is now illegal unless you
have a lawful excuse to do so.
Technically if I am in a pub with my pocket knife in my pocket I am
breaking the law.

Americans love Crocidile Dundee, because it is like a modern Davey
Crockett. Most Americans have never heard of Davey Crockett, but DO
know about Crocadile Dundee. The spirit of freedom and independence,
and the yearning for the same is in every human. Thus the popularity
of Dundee, Start Wars and the like.
It sounds like the OZ of old, where men are men and all citizens are
free and independent is even further down the UK/France sewer of
wimpification, PC and socialist rubbish than we are.
Dundee movies VERY popular. We really like Crocodile Dundee; even I
like him, especially when uses lines such as, "That's not a knife;
THIS is a knife."

Hi Alex
Finally got round to responding, apologies for the delay & don't
know if this will get through due to email issues - as you all know.
There is definitely a gremlin in the system that H can't find.
I've never heard of the Outback steakhouse (emigrated here 22 years
ago from NZ) & have been to Broken Hill where Mad Max Movies were
made.
Yes it was tragic what happened to Steve Irwin but in my opinion he
was the most irritating human being to come out of Oz.
Georgia (daughter) would like to know if any of you have heard of:
Dame Edna Everage or Norman Gunstan and
how popular were the Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) Movies in the US.
The team have to do a skit at the FPS conference on Australia.
Have to agree why couldn't they have got an actual Aussie actor to
do the voice over for Outback Steakhouse commerical's there are
plenty of them in the US - that's shameful.
Fay
Yup. Outback Steakhouse, Steve Irwin, and the Mad Max movies
pretty
much sum up all the average American knows about Australia, I
think.
Having been to Oz and heard some really thick accents there,
especially in Tasmania, I wince every time an Outback commercial
comes
on the TV---couldn't they have gotten an actual Aussie actor to
do the
voiceover, instead of an American trying (and failing pitifully)
to do
the accent?
