England ranks last in mental health and you all treat it like a joke.

Blatant lie. If I had to put up with British weather and food......
The whinging Pom stereotype is very overstated. Germans are worse.
"someone is worse, so it's ok here" logic.
Well done solving nothing!

Going through some of my Aussie dad's travel stuff I found a few old New Zealand shillings and florins. Wonder how many of us here know about that today.

LOL. I was 8 years old when Australia discontinued minting halfpennies. Just my 0.5c worth.

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
“Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.”
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
“The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.”
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.

Gone 1967.
Could still spend some as a kid though. Arcade machines could take the old coins.
