I’m 1.5 hours or so out of Melbourne...
“scrumpy” lol makes me think of ’Dumb and Dumber’: “I bet she’ll invite us in for tea and scrumpets” (or something like that).

She’ll invite us in for tea and ’crumpets’ Zargo. Hehe. :D
Scrumpet means, an attractive person, often younger than the person using the word, possibly a bit of a tart. LOL!
Scrumpy as I know it down here in Devon is Cider, a drink made from fermented Apples. :D
Ok, i’m leaving now. ;)

It’s funny what foreigners think are common phrases in Australia, or completely misinterpret real expressions. I once read an American book with an Aussie family that called everyone a
“revhead” as an insult. I’d never heard of revhead in my life, and later found out a revhead is just a person who likes cars and motors and stuff. It’s not an insult. The author obviously heard an Aussie say revhead once and assumed it was an insult!

Am visiting Oz in a few weeks time. No specific agenda yet, as have been before. But was wondering if there were any Roxers here in SYD/MEL/CNS who would be interested in hooking up for a scrumpy or wotever when I arrive? Shout me up!
