Spring onions are spring onions (or scallions). Aussies might have recently beat us at a pointless activity (it isn’t sport if you can do it in a chunky-knit tank-top) but they lag well beyond the Northern Hemisphere in the recognition of common-place veggies. And your water goes down the plug-hole the wrong way round… And that’s moral turpitude that is, not the Coriolis effect.

Nick will be probably trying to convince me that a thong is something other than an item of footwear, next.
That shallot.
It’s just jealousy.
OK, I seem to have missed the news. The Aussies beat us at something involving knit tank tops and a variety of . . . onions?
No matter. I LOVE the coriolis effect. Isn’t that what causes those fine Aussie women to wear their thongs wrong way ’round?
How do you wear footwear the wrong way round?
Don’t even get them started on the subject of dropbears.
What? Is it a crime to expose the excessively credulous?
James is about to be taken to the horrible inland holding camp for people who doubt dropbears. He will not be seen here again.
A rather dishy woman friend of mine was appalled that when I visited Mauritius last year for my honeymoon, I did not check to see how the water went into the plughole.
Amazing what some folk get interested in.
Sybies. Spring onions are sybies (to all right-thinking people).
