Well, we're a good 1000 kilometres from Sydney, so I don't know if
that'll help much :) And, I might add, "throw another shrimp on the
barbie" is a phrase that was invented for that Paul Hogan advertisement,
and has never been heard "in the wild". Firstly, we call shrimps
"prawns", and secondly, we don't tend to barbeque them :)
