  1. Ian, you keep forgetting that we don’t rely on cars for everything like you do over there! We have other options: planes, trains, boats and ferries, buses, light rail, and of course walking. Yes we walk! LOL!

  3. Yes, Ian, you’re a bluey! “Why is a fight called a blue in Australia? In the 1850s, a large influx of immigrants arrived in Australia, hoping to make their fortunes in the gold fields. The Irish, many of whom were redheads, soon gained a reputation as hard drinkers and fighters. A fight, in local slang, was a 'blue'. “Jim had a blue with his wife.” “Why do Australians call people Bluey? Mostly coined in Australia than anywhere else in the world, 'bluey' is (generally) used as an affectionate nickname for a redhead. It is thought by some to have derived from the early 1900s as a form of irony. Blue is evidently contrasting with red, thus being used as a joke.”
