Having lived in Clapham for 3 years or so and seen various Australia Day celebrations, I'd say it's also the ability to wander rain-soaked London dressed in nothing but boxer shorts!
Absolutley, that or a bikini and thongs. Pretending that a jug of snake bite is like a meal as it contains a form of apples.
Ha ha. Just like old times. Happy Australia Day!
