I know men who fish them and that's how they pronounce it.

'sca' as in 'scandal' and 'llop' as in 'lop', with 'sca' being the emphasised bit.

I'm with keewik on this. :)

Though I tend to say "lup", rather than "lop". :P

:D

Well I'll just say it any old way, and see what happens.

Yes, that would be common parlance.

Have you been invited to a cheese, wine, and scallop evening by any chance?

Like wallop or dollop.

What he said but what do you think they are?

I'm getting a spooky deja vu feeling about this . . .

Or you could just call them 'queenies' which is another common name for them amongst fishermen.

Scott and Charlene would have celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary at the beginning of this month. Ross' son Ben would be 18.

We're all just getting old :(

They are probably running around Queensland somewhere, most likely up in the Northern bit. That's where most people on soapies ended up in the days before cheap air travel. Moving somewhere a few days drive away meant it was a little to far to just pop in for a visit.

I'm going to Torquay next week. Apart from being booked into a fancy restaurant, I'm not sure what else there is to do. Any ideas?

Interesting . . .

From what I've heard, you could while away the hours helping drunks out of the gutter. Laughing out loud
