South Africa? (1 Viewer)

[Freshman]

Hi all,

I'm new to this Forum but I've been part of Access forums for the last 8+ years and I must say that I've never come across anyone from South Africa.
I noticed there is a large number of users on this forum and wondered if there was a way to search by country.

Admins or Mods can you help?

Pure interest sake.

Thanks

This might be one way to do that....

I've come across it on a few forums..

Interesting and nice idea. But it would be up to Admin to include it on here.
Let's wait and see...

Where in South Africa are you located?

Hi Cindy, I'm in Durban at the East Coast.
Why - do you have people here?

Ag, no need for lots of $, a few cents will buy enough t-bones to stick on the braai, and as much Lion lager as you can dop. Just don't get too babelaas

Haha - With a screen name like that and your knowledge of a babelaas I'm guessing you an ex-SA??

You could say I survived Jo'burg. However, I left before it joined the third world

Then you must have left VERY long ago. 1652 maybe??

Thats seems a very white idea? I wonder if black SA has the same opinion?

What do I know - thats why I am asking.

No, as I remember the flight left at around 18:30, but what would I know, I was babelaas by the time I got through customs

Just curious. Hubby and I visited there once when he was competing at the World Powerlifting championships. We were in Cape Town though.

Ahh - now your screen name makes sense (wife of the powerlifter).

Next time come to Durban - much nicer people

It was actually a qualified statement. When I left in 1993 Johannesburg was much the same as London. Quite posh, full of upmarket shops etc. When I went back in 2006, had you blindfolded me and told me I was in Nairobi I would have believed you. I was not passing any judgement, simply an observation.

You have qualified it now yes.

I apologise - was just wondering if it was a universal idea - the one that was originally communicated.

Ah, yes. I forget sometimes that not everyone knows where my screen name originates.
