Errr... G'day Tannywheeler,
Well, Patricia says: "Poor little innocent ... the Americans just don't get it ... this isn't a game ... it's WAR!"
Myself, I will concede that the Australians have been keen to beat the English at any game you care to mention ... since around the arrival of the "Second Fleet" in 1790.
Regards,
Bob
