Hi, Paul Quinn!
I read your message from 16.04.2014 08:51

  PQ> Caps?  China cups.  Yes.  I used to have my own (favourite) tea
  PQ> cup and saucer in my teenaged years.

It is interesting how it sounds in Australia? I know, in the UK they say 
"c[ae]se" for case; expl[ei]n for explain; f[ae]ce for face.
In Australia we have
"c[a]se" for case; expl[a]in for explain; f[a]ce for face.

But how, then, you live with "cap" and cup? According to the above 
mentioned theory both words must sound equally? ;-)

Bye, Paul!
