Old fart from down under who needs a strong southerly to make contact.
P.S. Have Toyota used BUGGER in their TV advertisements up your way as they have down here ? Caused quite a stir and really got attention and is now accepted language.

I haven't heard them use it here, and even if they did I doubt there'd be much of an outcry, since few here attach the same meaning as you Commonwealth blokes. Plus, it's pretty similar to an American slang word that essentially means a particular form of nasal secretion.
I think it's safe to say that if they used the Yank equivalent of BUGGER the advert would never get on the air, but if it did, sales would suffer.
