231 – Differences Between the UK and Australia 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
Martin Johnston Johnston 
Have you ever wondered what they are? Well we’re here to speak about some today, plus there’s talk of bears dropping from trees 🐻, fighting wild dogs whilst pooing 😅, expensive Kit Kats 🍫 and lots more! Charlie from The British English Podcast is back (he must be a great guest if he got invited on the show again 😁) to talk us through the differences, so sit back, get your headphones on and just keeeeeep on ROCKin’, baby!
The RnR Vocab that you will learn in today’s episode:
I feel ya
You currently reside in Australia
I’m a sucker for nature now
The spade will also come in handy if you see a dingo
So that’s all intact (my penis)
Most people don’t need to fend off dingos with a spade every night
They do it to fend off tourists
I fell for it (drop bears)
They eat you alive with their fangs
I haven’t come across any creatures recently
When I touched down in the UK
On a good run, it takes about 40 mins to arrive at the beach
Have you got any soil on your trainers?
I didn’t sleep a wink
I made a faux pas as I brought my own Barbie to a Barbie
You don’t have fire drills for nothing
Most of the middle of Australia is inhabitable
We’re fucking close to the beach, excuse my French
Gasping for air
I thought I could carry on, or I could have a beer… I went for the latter option in the end
It’s just something they tell you to shit you up
Maybe I need to cut back on the beers
Eating out costs less, drinking costs more, so it evens itself out
Some Kit Kat gags there
It was straight gin at 11am
I’ll be such a tosser when I’m 36
I was keeping myself to myself and got thrown out
The Americans were so besotted with our accent
Some of them have a chip on their shoulder and think that they are better than us
RnR Grammar
“If only he had explained it like you” is what I said in the episode. So when we speak about past wishes, we use the Past Perfect after I wish!
