"Haitch" is quite prevalent in Australia and seems to have crossed all socio-economic boundaries. It is almost a litmus test for Catholicism (and a Catholic education) in this country. Inevitably the Brothers are/were of Irish stock and, if they weren't, they were taught in turn by Irish Catholics. And so the usage spreads. I've mentioned before that the playing of Rugby League rather than Rugby Union is a similar litmus test. League is dominant in Catholic schools, whilst Union is the domain of the protties. One of the more powerful League teams in Brisbane, Queensland competition is even called Brothers. Guess which foot they lead with! stales Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted "H for dropping" RhubarbCommando 02/15/02 03:01 PM Re: "H for dropping" wwh 02/15/02 03:15 PM Re: "H for dropping" rkay 02/15/02 03:18 PM Re: "H for dropping" RhubarbCommando 02/15/02 03:39 PM Re: "H for dropping" Rubrick 02/15/02 03:54 PM Re: "H for dropping" RhubarbCommando 02/15/02 04:01 PM Re: "H for dropping" rkay 02/15/02 04:06 PM Re: "H for dropping" slithy toves 02/15/02 04:28 PM an historic NicholasW 02/17/02 12:36 PM Re: an historic stales 02/17/02 02:02 PM Re: "H for dropping" NicholasW 02/17/02 12:05 PM Re: "H for dropping" belMarduk 02/17/02 12:53 PM Re: "H for dropping" belMarduk 02/17/02 12:57 PM Re: "H for dropping" WhitmanO'Neill 02/17/02 03:24 PM Re: "H for dropping" doc_comfort 02/18/02 05:08 AM Re: "H for dropping" wow 02/18/02 03:24 PM Re: "H for dropping" Rubrick 02/15/02 03:22 PM Re: "H for dropping" WhitmanO'Neill 02/15/02 03:35 PM Re: "H for dropping" AnnaStrophic 02/15/02 03:28 PM Re: "H for dropping" Bean 02/15/02 04:16 PM Re: "H for dropping" belMarduk 02/15/02 10:13 PM Re: "H for dropping" Jazzoctopus 02/16/02 04:08 PM Re: "H for dropping" maverick 02/16/02 04:33 PM Re: "H for dropping" Keiva 02/16/02 04:52 PM Re: "H for dropping" NicholasW 02/19/02 12:46 PM Re: "H for dropping" Capital Kiwi 02/19/02 07:18 PM Re: "H for dropping" of troy 02/19/02 08:47 PM Re: "H for dropping" WhitmanO'Neill 02/19/02 11:45 PM Re: "H for dropping" of troy 02/20/02 12:11 AM Re: "H for dropping" Bean 02/20/02 11:14 AM Turlet Bean 02/20/02 11:16 AM Re: "H for dropping" Rubrick 02/20/02 11:23 AM Re: "H for dropping" Bean 02/20/02 11:35 AM Re: "H for dropping" RhubarbCommando 02/20/02 11:55 AM Re: "H for dropping" Rubrick 02/20/02 01:51 PM Re: "H for dropping" maverick 02/20/02 01:55 PM Re: "H for dropping" Rubrick 02/20/02 01:58 PM Re: "H for dropping" maverick 02/20/02 02:04 PM Re: "H for dropping" Keiva 02/20/02 04:14 PM Re: "H for dropping" belMarduk 02/19/02 10:43 PM Re: "H for dropping" belMarduk 02/16/02 07:40 PM Re: "H for dropping" Keiva 02/17/02 01:46 PM Re: "H for dropping" Keiva 02/16/02 05:28 PM .
