Route all ways batters my head.
I've heard in pronounced as rout and route(root).
East / West thing?

Re: Cultural Reference thread
Big problem here - root is the very common (as in usual, commonly used and accepted) word for a shag/fuck - so "Finding a good route" in spoken conversation will elicit a response of "Well done - I wish I could" or "And how did your wife/husband/partner take it?*" similar or in a sophisticated meeting just raised eyebrows, and wink or two, or nudge nudge - say no more - and suppressed guffaws.
Females will often refer to some bloke as "A dud root" - wonderful, devastating and quintessentially Australian.
* and if the mirth continues a further sotto voce to next person, play on "How did she take it?" - "Anyway she could?"
As in - I asked her if she'd love me always - she replied "OK which way do you want it first?"

Sir Les Patterson is the perfect antidote to iGents.
I can never think of Tasmania in the same way though

Re: Cultural Reference thread
been reading more of the Cambridge Ancient History lately, 1932 version
noticed some strange spellings:
"sovren"
"Renascence"
"What sort of post-apocalyptic deathscape is this?"
"I don't want to look like a cock hungry sailor after all !!!"
