Yes my lasting impression of Australia is that it's essentially the UK with all the decent culture taken out, so it's like Disney World for council sorts. Every Morlock I know who has gone there on their dream holiday spends forever harping on about it like it's some absolute paradise.
On our return from visiting my son in Australia a few years back, some friends in a pub were asking what we thought of the country.I said that I thought that Brisbane was great, good restaurants and bars, but that I thought that Sydney was better still, and if I ever returned, I’d like it to be to Sydney.
“Was that your impression Nicky?” my wife was asked.
She said, “My impression, was that it was like America, but civilised, and I liked Surfers Paradise more than I liked Brisbane, but Sydney was great, we weren’t there long enough.

"Ah, Murgatryoyd, you have no need to worry yourself that he is losing his Northern Council roots. No, I have looked in the latest edition of Debrets and whilst he looks like he is trying to get the first Michelin star in Wigan, See observe the boy, he pulls his spoon towards him. And a dessertspoon at that. With no separate bread plate. No Murg, we've got this lad down from the gutters to the gulleys and despite his carbo-soups, we'll keep him there. Now, lets us have a ride on you ferrety kebab".

Yep. Teacake in Cumbria as well. And when challenged on the potential that a teacake has currents in it , point out that no. That would be a fruit teacake. A teacake is plain.
