Re: the rugby world cup
I'm fairly certain that McKerdie is primarily a lowland name, Russ, so you may not have had too many kilted claymore wielders in your line. But they would have been in prime territory when the industrial revolution arrived and could well have gone to Oz to exploit skills that were needed there, possibly weaving, or conceivably mining.

Re: the rugby world cup
russ is it true that when people in Sydney want to eat something that hasn't been soaked in grease and fat, they go to Melbourne? I have a book that says Melbourne has the best cuisine in Australia, which doesn't seem to be an oxymoron...

Re: the rugby world cup
My pleasure. That degree in history comes in useful from time to time.
And Stavros, what a foul calumny on the fair city of Sydney. I've eaten well in both Sydney and Melbourne.. Melbourne, perhaps unsurprisingly, is better for most European style cuisine, but when it comes to authentic Asian food, Sydney is possibly the best city in the world to eat. I've travelled extensively throughout Asia both for business and pleasure, and Sydney's wide range of good-value ethnic restaurants is simply wonderful. Aussie fusion cooking is great too - I'm looking forward to my trip down under in Jan/Feb.

Re: the rugby world cup
It was just a wind up, although I did read about Melbourne-vs-Sydney in a book and on reflection yes I think the point was that it was the more diverse immigrant culture in Melbourne that has given it that reputation -but I have no plans or even desire to go to Australia.

most Aussies prefer to live out in the bush or up the coast away from Sydney
