Oh yeah, there are still differences Corrina, but I still think mainly there are more words shared between Aussie English and British English than there are with both and American English.
Of the words you listed, it's only really gum boots and bathers that we never use. Though I've heard bathers used plenty in my slight addiction to Aussie soaps
.
Poorly is a very British word that I think reminds people of Jane Austen etc. Though we do use it plenty, sick is used more and more now, or just unwell/ill.
As for the jumper debate, I would use jumper for any kind of sweater really, other than a cardigan which is generally woolly and buttons-up. Do you use the word 'cardigan' any of you?
Oh, and for us, lollies are on a stick, anything else really is sweets, apart from chocolates which are just chocolates!
I guess I should pop over and do some part 19 FDK now!
