When singing Robin Hood and the three squires, with Pageant, there was usually some byplay about giving change of half a groat; thanks for reminding me, Anglo.

Yesterday I was part of a discussion about vehicles for fieldwork and the term "mileage" was used, in the sense of fuel consumption. "Kilometrage" hasn't yet entered the Oz vocabulary, thank goodness, but there is no equivalent to "mileage" and youngsters don't know what it means.

Cheers, Rowan
