Which part of Australia do you think that Scotland is in?

To our credit, most Americans are aware that your toilets flush counterclockwise, you ride kangaroos and all your parents were deported English criminals.
Any other pertinent facts we should be aware of?

Well there are a couple of points I feel I should clarify.

1. It was actually my great great great grandparents who were deported English criminals.
It was England's loss too. You get a much better class of thug downunder.

2. We may use kangaroos for sparring partners during boxing practice, but we certainly do not ride them.

3. The toilet flushing thing is correct. But does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?

Oh... and Rolf Harris was actually from the UK.
He just spent his holidays here, and the Brits took every opportunity to deny responsibility. So the legend grew...
