Does that mean that since Tasmania is not geographically connected (above sea level) to the continent of Australia that we can finally declare that Tasmania is not part of Australia?!Chris wrote:Australia is a continent in itself - and maybe ought to have a category of its own.

Oh I don't mind, just confused because other people said they voted 'uk' but I don't see the option <shrugs>
Re: Where are you from?
Well you could vote "New Zealand". Currently we are losing to Australia, which is never good...Mawkish1983 wrote:Oh I don't mind, just confused because other people said they voted 'uk' but I don't see the option <shrugs>

Yes, I removed it so that both Australia and New Zealand can fit in due to the limited number of poll choices to 10.Mawkish1983 wrote:Was the UK option removed from the poll?

Re: Where are you from?
Greetings Woini,
Metta,
Retro.
I know we have a member, Sally Gross, who is South African (I assume by birth, though I'm not totally sure) but she doesn't seem to be an active member unfortunately. Unfortunate because she's very knowledgeable and I know her input has been respected by several people here in the past.woini wrote:Am I the only African here ?
Metta,

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Re: Where are you from?
I hear it reached 35 in London, which I suppose is not that high compared to Australia in the height of summer, but we as a country not equiped to deal with it. It was very dangerous. Was your daughter okay?Ben wrote:my daughter arrived in London a few days ago amidst the heatwave.
