We ain't under no ponds! We're either Rightrightpondia (which is
right[rightpond]ia, not right[rightpondia], which would be the western US)
or Antepodia (which if said by a Scot sounds to an Aussie like
'Underpondia' with a cold, anyway)!  And yes, both 'ain't' and 'dunno' are
heard often enough here (though I rarely say 'ain't' myself,* and I
suspect it's used less frequently here than in the US).

*I originally had said 'never'. Then I re-read my first sentence :)

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still
be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
