By the way, what are mukas?

Mukas... Pomme Slang for Mates :)

Welcome to the NZ Fishroom Tim.

There's an "Unusual Fish" section if you want to post some pics of your fish.

I'm from Yorkshire.. (Skipton).. but been here 36yrs :)

I thought that calling someone from England a pomme, was actually considered to be an insult? My family on fathers side are all from there and I never call them that cause i always thought it was rude

Nothing insulting as far as I'm concerned... I get called a Pom by all manner of people.. but I ain't a prisoner... nor ever was.. buy hey... they call NZlanders "Kiwi's".. but you ain't birds.. and the Australians "Ozzies".. but it is taken in contex.

As Billaney points out.. P,O,M,E

The old word that was used by the British for the Prisoners Of Mother England that were sent to the Australian Continet as punishment.

Hi Tim!

Welcome to the best fishie site. Loads of information and really nice people, to say the least.

I'm from Cape Breton...hence...Caper. We weren't always known as capers...and by the way...we are not fish :o:wink:

Take care!
