1. The Royal garden party would become a pool side BBQ
2. Fosters and VB would have to be imported rather than brewed locally.
3. Busbys would be replaced by slouch hats.
4. The milennium dome would house an exact 1/10 scale replica of Bondi beach
5. The Loyal toast changed to "On yer mate"
6. Wussy 'Panda' Police cars exchanged for Holden Monaros known as "grunts"
7. A public holiday declared for The Melbourne Cup

Any others?

Too hard to attach corks to them.

Continuing the dome tradition of having nothing of interest in it.

My local plod run supercharged Jaguars and BMW 540's - trust the outlaw
country to want to downgrade the chance of the police catching them. . . . .

And make it illegal to mention rugby.

/1/ Earls Court would gain its own regional parliament.
/2/ Liz would grope the new King on TV.
/3/ The Aussie King would be out of a job in 6 months.
/4/ The new republic would change its flag to its first dead subtle stamps -
a 'roo.
/5/ Blair would have to hop it, ousted by the new Governor-General..
/6/ The UK would market its worst beer in Oz.
/7/ Aussie backpackers would get eaten by rogue mackerel.
/8/ Finding good surf would relocate to the supermarkets.
/9/ Everyone would suddenly claim to have a relative in prison.
/10/ Turkey would most definitely not be allowed into the EU (well, not the
Dardanelles bit, anyway).
