Top things Territorians NEVER say

 

Recently in the NT News I came across this article and it was so true and funny

that I thought I'd share it with you.  If you've lived in the Territory for any length

of time, you'll so relate to some of these. (Not the beer ones, of course)

I had to censor some of them, so pay no attention to the numbers being mixed up

or the spacing or the indenting etc etc, my computer has it in for me

and often has a mind of its own!!
