Maybe penny pinchers, except here in Oz we eliminated pennies years ago, so I guess the modern equivalent would be 5 cent pinchers?

It's round up, round down at the register.  $2.99 would appear as $3.00 at the register, as would $3.01...

Electronically the cents are kept.

She's a ginger, never argue with a ginger.

BTW, we still have some of the full size £sd coins.  The florin is our 20 cent coin and the shilling our 10 cent coin.  You get a pocket full of 20 cent coins and you develop a hernia.  Oh and the two smallest coins we have are the 5 cent (old sixpence) and the $2 both about the same size, only the $2 is thicker...

Wow... good job I've never been to OZ as I would go mental at such ludicrous behaviour (gawd it's almost as absurd as the Workbench copyright crap)... :crazy:

Why oh why oh why... bother to put a price on some thing (ie: $2.99) when you cant even pay that price... Strewth mate what's the phone number of your Prime Minister I think I feel a new mission coming on...

Therer are a lot of football codes.  Usually a country has only one football code that becomes popular and gets the moniker football.  Common codes are: Soccer, Rugby League, Rugby Union (my favourite, but it almost never gets called "football"), AFL, Celtic rules and Gridiron...

Ah no.

QUOTE:
The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association".
