The kickstart quadrant probably needs replacing.

I understand that a 'POMMY' is a person that has escaped a prison term or deportation for not stealing a turnip or rotton spud ! Over to you Bruce.

A Pom is probably one of the original european settlers in Australia.... Prisoner Of his Majesty

Naah,
Poms live and breed in England, got nothing to do with being in Australia. The formal salutation for a Pom in Australia is "Pommy !"£%^%" and if we really like you its "Whinging Pommy !"£%^%". If we really, really think you're a great bloke, it's "G,day yer whingin' Pommy !"£%^%. How'd yer like to learn to play cricket?"

Cheers,
