RE: Memory lane to visit my Aussie colleagues

It's interesting how light conversation varies from culture to culture, and person to person!
I am like Steve, always say too much.
A typical SA greeting would start with 'Hi, how are you?'
I was warned not to do that in the Netherlands as they would see it as prying.
I know a number of ex-South Africans who live in Australia but no Aussies.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware of that. In that case, you'd fit in perfectly here, the brits love a good old natter!
