As a Scot, I've always wondered what the word 'Celtic'
means . . . :)
Potential definitions include " a romantic miasma created by
opium-addled Victorians living in
London and successfully fooled by George McDonald."
That's exactly right!
Mind you; both Lancastrians and East Coast Scots can smirk in an
unpleasantly superior
way at Australians . . . :)

You have to set your localization to "strine" for the first to

have
implemented Polish localization yet, so no go for the accordion.
Pommies don't play bagpipes; unless, of course, you class
Northumbrians as pommies.
Although, you'd be hard put to grow an apple as far north as the
Pennines.
Pommies, when they are trying hard to prove they have an
identifiable culture, perform
Morris dances.

What a depressing confession! The tangential information one can garner
from this use-list
is almost as valuable as the Livecode-relevant information; and usually,
far more amusing.
If all you do it think along ramrod straight lines about coding then
your coding is unlikely
to be creative an innovative; and as Livecode is, itself, both creative
and innovative, quite a lot
of what Edward De Bono called "Lateral Thinking" helps an awful lot.
Be very, very careful, or I may send you a complete folk-dancing kit . .
