aussiebloke Help: Gypsies v Travellers v Tinkers (34) RE: Help: Gipsies v Travellers v Tinkers 13 Feb 02


Thread drift strikes.

Note to McGrath of Harlow

The word 'bloke' is, or at least was, in fairly common usage in Australia - "G'day bloke" is not an uncommon greeting, though young'uns are unlikely to use it.

One of our more famous 'blokes' was The Sentimental Bloke - written by C.J. Dennis around 1915.

An hilarious account of our hero discovering true love, written in the Aussie slanguage of the time.

Cheers from the Aussiechap, errr - Aussiefellow - well, you get the idea...
