    And no offence to our western cousins.

    I know...but it hasn't always been Australian. It's actually a contraction of "God's Truth", and just last week I heard a gentleman in Powell & Pressberger's A Canterbury Tale, which was setin WWII era Kent, use the phrase.

    So no offence meant to the Kiwis -- perhaps I should have said "I'm scunnered".
