Abstract

I was in a provincial working-class pub in England over Christmas, one which used to be my “local”. Spurred by my presence into talk about Australia, the conversation moved, not to the America’s Cup, nor to the Test series, nor even to the weather, but to Crocodile Dundee, just released on the provincial circuits.
