Never called them swimmers when I was growing up in the UK .. had no idea what my (Australian) husband was talking about the first time he used the phrase!

Ah, the Castle. Champagne comedy hehe. I have to admit that I became a Trading Post devotee for a while, wish they had something similar here (guess we have geo classifieds, but it's not quite the same..)
Speaking of recent great Aussie movies, I also loved Lantana and Look Both Ways. I was surprised to hear that a non-Aussie friend had seen Lantana in New York. Waiting for more good ones!

I say bathers myself. But my Brit friend did point out to me that this sounded hugely antiquidated (?)
