It doesn’t hold the same connotations here in Australia, Dave.

I cringed when I read it though.

I was kidding - old school cricket joke.

But if I can be an Aussie why can't a Pakistani be a Paki? I really don't see the difference.

It has a history in the UK and Ireland as a racial slur, comparable to 'Abo' as used towards Aborigines in Aus.

This I didn't know, even though I was a fan of numerous 1970's British sit-coms!

I apologise and will remove the term from my vocab.

Carry on.

It took us longer than I thought to break 200,000 cases in a day. Probably the Thanksgiving backlog.

Checking again early next week!
