A question prompted by today's radio listening

[quatrefoil]

So, gentle readers, what do you think is Australia's greatest gift to the world

the national piss take policy

[quatrefoil]

Good answer, but I'm not sure that's been adopted elsewhere.

[quatrefoil]

And for an extra clue - it's Tasmanian, and I'm pretty sure all my readers will have used it.

[splodgenoodles]

No, only your Tassie readers (and Tassie descendants) get to use the secret eleventh toe.

[quatrefoil]

You're just jealous. You'd be using it if you had one.

[sidherian]

Hills Hoist?

I loathe a & c, and don't even know what b is..

[quatrefoil]

Another good answer, but again I don't think it's been adopted elsewhere to the extent it deserves.

The stump plough exists in memory as a good Trivial Pursuit answer and a wine label, but the original was developed in the Mallee to deal with the roots of hardwood trees which destroyed ordinary ploughs - the stump jump plough just jumped over them and kept on going.

[omnot]

Erm... the notepad?

[quatrefoil]

BZZZZT! Try again.

[enrobso]

Do they export Boag's Draught?

[quatrefoil]

Well yes, but again, it hasn't had the universal acceptance it deserves.

[enrobso]

All the more for me then.

I was pretty sure you hadn't voted for the expression "In like Flynn" inspired by Taswegia's most famous son.

[quatrefoil]

You are a man of good taste, sir. Not least because Boags is produced in Launceston, not like that inferior southern Cascade stuff (which is actually quite drinkable, too).

And, no, I didn't.
