Victorians
Victoria is a state in the south of Australia. Its residents are known as Victorians. I am always mildly disappointed when I meet Victorians. I have a picture in my mind that Victoria is populated by a people who get from place to place in horse-drawn cabs, the men have moustaches and wear top hats, the women are tightly laced into corsets and suffer attacks of the vapours and frequently have to be brought round with smelling salts, the children work up chimneys and table legs are covered for fear that the men won't be able to control themslves at the sight of a nicely turned wooden leg.
Alas, they tell me that it isn't so.

Ah, Helen, you ARE writing a book, right? You have to write a book. And you'll mention the wacked-out annoying aerophobic Canuckian wingnut who has a weird thing about hats. Oh, and you'll mention me, too, of course.
You have to write a book, if only to write more wonderful things like "...where the children work up chimneys and table legs are covered for fear that the men won't be able to control themslves at the sight of a nicely turned wooden leg..."
And then I walk into the kitchen to find Mark under the table...
