    Fact or fiction?

    I remember historically the English shipped a lot of English people to Australia, but I can not remember how they decided how to chose who to go. Any Help?

    I think some may have tried to swim home but only made to Dumaguete.

    Well Dave, it was Broadsides Bobby that caught a villain and a biased Judge, who sent them down Under (as we call Australia in the UK) after conviction.

    All joking aside though, Australia was, Britain's Penal Colony for a long time, So I guess it really is our own Fault. :eek: That they (The Australians) see us, as they Do .:rolleyes:

    Thanks for the information. It also seems to explain another little part of trivial to me. I always understood what a "French" kiss using the tongue on the facial lips), but did not understand the term "Australian" kiss until you explained the term "down under."

    Thanks Dave. Just spread the word there that it might happen. I'm not going to make any more arrangements until they confirm their flights. Once I get that, then I can get some posters printed and an advert in to the Neg. Chronicle.

    Just confirmed that it will not happen. Almost predictable.
