[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 27460, member: 1991"] I'm sorry, I know it's late your time, but I just HAVE to comment - the way Sydney-siders felt about having the Bridge closed back when the US VP visited - yes, they felt it was definitely a censored up, and they weren't thinking of the word for a nail with threads. And whenever the name got mentioned in connection with the bridge closure, it was also another, stronger word that could easily have been substituted to suit people's mood. It was nothing to do with political parties or anything like that - the leader or representative of ANY country making such a request would lead to the same adjective being applied to them. husband & I have been laughing about the ":censored:" problem. We were also wondering - our PM's first name is John (that's J O H N, in case it gets censored, since in some countries the word is another euphemism for lavatory). And a lot of us feel the same about him too, and he doesn't have to close the bridge to make us feel that way. "Why do we hate John Howard on sight?" "It saves time." And once again - nothing really to do with political parties. There are good people in Australia on both sides of the political fence. And bad ones. Marg [/QUOTE]
