the years. One day a kid (I'll say kid as his birth year of 1986 was tattooed in very large print on his back), flew past on a motorbike, no helmet, not shirt so fast up Poppies 1 that no chance of stopping quickly, grabbed the back of a rubbish bag an old man was carrying on his back, he knocked it off and it tore open, the guy didn't stop, just laughed. The Balinese came out and helped the man pick up his rubbish and gave him a new bag. Sorry, but that guy looked as Aussie as they come and "Maaate" came out of his mouth, so that's the impression they get.
I just went to the supermarket (5 kms away) and nearly hit at least 5 guys at different times that thought they would overtake the traffic, yet I had to get out of their way to avoid them, they were on my side, all surfers, all without helmets, shirtless and all looked Aussie to me so I am starting to get a bit fed up myself as I don't want to kill one of them so I have to drive off the road.
