Yep Merri - MVA = motor vehicle accident. MBA = motorbike accident. We also say RTC - road traffic crash and RTA, road traffic accident.
Penn I'm with the consensus on pleading the fifth. I know the phrase from watching American television and have probably said it before too as most people I know would know what I meant from tv as well. We have about 70% American content on our television here so we're exposed to a lot of US culture. Probably 20% UK and maybe 10% local content. Not sure of the actual figures but if I had to guess I'd say this was close to the mark.

LOL Merri.
I'm sorry, it's not funny having your eye taken out but that is such a SURGEON's way of dealing with a problem. NO problem - I'll just remove it!!
Common sense medicine - I'm putting that one in my things-to-remember book.

Have a great mini break, Fiona.
I've just finished Kely Hunter's "Taken By The Bad Boy" and it's bloody fantastic!

Oh No Linda - floods are never fun. Hope it drys out really quickly. Keep safe and dry.
Love those Flying Doc's books - it's such a quintessential iconic Aussie service. And Marion Lennox - how could you go wrong?
Happy reading,
Amy

Don't whisper it Nell - shout it from the rooftops!! It's great that you are being published with Little Black Dress and I for one will be haunting the shelves for it.

Hell Fiona, snow already? Brrrrrr
I've just finished reading my first SEP - yes I'm a little slow. Dream A Little Dream was F.A.B. I'm gonna get me some more of her.
I've also been reading a host of Little Black Dresses. I think our Nell's is out soon, isn't it Nell?

Hi Chloe - sending a cyber kiss to seal your envelope with. Thinking positive thoughts for you.
Great title but yeah, don't get too attached to it

Hey Chloe - great to see you here.
I actually don't think it works in the reverse so much. for a start I wouldn't imagine there'd be too many books set in the US that are first published in Oz/UK. And then there is the saturation of US culture that we get from TV and movies that makes US colloquilaisms more widely known all around the world.
I think, anyway.........
