The Gas thread.

153.9 at United at South Nowra but had plenty in the tank to get back to Sydney so filled up at 164.9 at my local Payless on Unwins Bridge rd.

Won't be cheap!

The first model should be called KENO in honour of our Jaxxxxx.

You would need a big win in order to afford one!

The two 7/11's on Anzac Pde at Kensington are doing it again. the one opposite Peters is 217.9 and the one a few hundred metres away on the corner of Todman Ave is 161.9

I've been saying gas for the last 20 years and am now trying to remember to say petrol.

My brother in law couldn't believe I don't know or want to know the cost of petrol. Am I the weird one?

You certainly appear to be.

I’ve never heard it called “gas” here in Australia — it’s always been a petrol station, not a gas station. And we’ve always paid by the litre, not the gallon. That whole “gas per gallon” thing is definitely an American thing, right?

"Gas" is like all of the other nauseating Americanisms that our dumb sheeple subscribe to. My flesh crawls every time I hear "ceremony" pronounced "sarah moaney", "wait up", females called "guys", "Sorry for your loss", "swim meet", "Thank you for your service", "gas" again, "critters", "bugs", "red zone", "carry the football", "offence and defence", (with the first syllables stressed), "candy", "cookies", "movies", "go for it" etc, etc, etc.

Every semi literate mug (particularly young females it has to be said) have signed on to the dumb lexicon which, in effect, identifies us as the vassal state that we are, happy to give up our cultural independence.

What do we think about Trump's demand that we increase De-fence spending and Albo's refusal (for the time being) to do so.

How petty. Don't you know languages constantly evolve? Poor soul.

Poor what? poor bastard, poor player? Unlike you to be lost for words. We prefer posters to say something if possible on this forum.

Woah we agree. My daughter is susceptible to adopting Americanisms. Too much Tik Tok and YouTube I believe. I’m always correcting her and she’s always having a dig at me for being old fashioned and out of date. Let’s not lose our old British / Aussie colloquialisms I say.

English is a global language. There are more non native speakers than native speakers. Its only natural that the lexicon changes. Try listening to the Australian accent in say an old episode of Skippy. They speak in what is called received pronunciation. It sounds more English than American. An American accent from a good part of the country is much more pleasant than listening to an English accent to me.

Well fortunately for me I have too much money to bother with gas prices.

True. Good points. The Aussie accent has certainly evolved since the mid twentieth century. I personally prefer the English accent, especially the ones from oop northern England.

Congratulations Bazza, You're back to acceptable normalcy as the Americans say. Good comment too. I hope that the tone change continues. As I say, never met a man I couldn't like.
