But how far back exactly does that go? I think Indy goes back to 1911.

Why "Continental Europe"? Leaves out much of Europe. For instance Scandinavia.

The term, at least it's usage here, includes Scandinavia - see here.

I now see though that I've condemned the Irish along with the Canadians and the Ockers to third class status.

I’m not the somewhere guy, from Hawaii via Texas, but have just moved to New Zealand. My new job is working with the US Antarctic Program in Christchurch. My work is not on the ice, but I hope to make it down there while here. If I do, I will get a Rolex pic or two from the Antarctic. 😄Cheers, Tim
