"Gidday"
Although as Aussie as ever and speaking in that Aussie drawl, Shayne is equally comfortable navigating the U.S. market and American methods. The variations of species requirements, constant conversions between two measurement systems, and conversions even between two "English" dialects, Shayne knows his way around the industry. It's all done in that laconic Aussie style... As the saying goes - sort of, "You can take the man out of Australia, but you can't take Australia out of the man".
