    Hi Guys

    I presume from the lack of comment everyone agrees with the expert.

    Muppet, it was more along the lines ‘I can’t think of a smart a#$% comment, so I’m going to have to leave that one alone’

    Must be true then[:O]

    Hi Guys

    Could it be that all the dumb NZers have gone to Australia.

    Therefore the intellectual level of NZ has risen and that the intellectual level of Austalia has dropped.

    Let’s hope more d…. Nzers leave then NZ could become the most intelligent country in the world.

    Now who invented pavlova?

    Hi Mel

    Come on now.

    Weetbix have been around since Moses played fullback for Jerusalem.[:D]

    I have eaten Weetbix for breakfast for at least 50 years.[:(]

    Also have Marmite on my toast sometimes as well.[}:)]

    You can have Marmite, we have Vegemite, well, actually the Yanks have Vegemite. Weetbix might be all we have left – no, wait, there’s Golden Circle, or so the ads on telly keep telling us.

    sigh

    And Muppet, I know you said you were ancient, but 50 – I don’t beleive it!![;)]

    Cheers

    For all those born in Australia of non-Australian parents – do you consider yourselves less Australian?

    Same with the Holden Commodore, Vegemite blah blah blah… just ’cause they have parents overseas doesn’t mean the brands themselves are any less Aussie.

    Vegemite is like Rupert Murdoch, born here, but now lives in the US and has US citizenship. Still owns/sells papers here, but money earnt goes back to America.

    Crikey, Dick Smith has joined the forum[;)]

    I think it’s a little off-topic, but this whole “profits go offshore” argument is a bit weak when there are domestic jobs, manufacturing, suppliers etc utilised domestically. And heaven knows, in many cases the cash flows in these functions are more reliable, predictable and perhaps substantial than any profit that may go offshore.

    Even if these products were owned locally, who’s to say what the local company would do with their profits anyway – and whether this would be for the common good.

    Rubbachook, that’s not what I was suggesting with my post.

    It was more answering your post about people being born here of non Aussies and having parents overseas.

    I was arguing that Vegemite and Rupert were born here, and then left rather than that their parents came here and had them.

    Cheers

    Cool, Melbear. I had to use my brain too much already in writing the above post. I didn’t want have to think much more so early in the year.
