>>Yeah but are you going to keep the pretty bit in the top LH corner? :-) I hear (esp. since prince Charles's visit) that it won't be too long before you go republic. What's the general feel?

>My general feel is republic/monarchy - who cares ? I think that being part of the empire doesn't mean anything any more. Most people I know think the same but when we had a referendum (admittedly many years ago now) , it was about 50/50. As times passes there will be more and more support for being a republic I guess.
Come on! Hardly an Empire. It's a commonwealth, bit like the USA - but dispersed more :-)

>Australians feel very much that we are our own country anyway. As you said, we are so far away from Europe.. How can we feel part of a country that it takes 20 hours to fly to :)
Don't know - better ask the 1.5 million of your countrymem living in Earl's Court, London! :-)

- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
