Wongo being a Sydney City lad never leaves the confines of his safe haven the shed ventures no further than Public transport will take him and of course 3 days at the wood show.

Could it perhaps be that the few Brits that they interviewed in NZ had never actually met a Kiwi because they're all bloody well over here!!??:C:C

The difference is that the Pom's in NZ aren't decendants of Convicts

I hope everyone knows the difference between a Pom, and a jumbojet.

The jumbo stops whining when it lands.



Jokes aside, I was born Emgland, and lived my first 15 years there. This makes me a POM. But I love the country that accepted me, and this will always be my home. I enjoy visiting the old country, but it's always the best feeling to come home. To all those 'poms' out there, you will always be English, always be a pom, but Australia is home.

EDIT: CRAP!! I didn't mean this to post when it did, I must have pressed the wrong key

About half who move here end up leaving in the end.

Then there are the millions of Aussie's who have to go live in the UK so they can have a better life be closer to the action and their heritage

Carl at least Poms can say thanks for help they get from us Pom's mind you I did get a good laugh at an Aussie stuck in the mud running around in the bush with his daks round his ankles

Well its close the other photo was worse (the one in the ditch) but I guess it's being as close to a REAL Aussie as he can get a bit more tan and he might make it. A good feed of Roo, Grub's ad Goanna he'd be right in with a chance.:U

Your post suggests that you just might have some fairly recent Britih heritage, and you're still here in a bit of paradise that your countrymen would give their eye teeth for, then desecrate with Pommie pubs and bingo halls a la Costa del Sol etc etc.
I lived in UK for 15 yrs, and, yes, I did very well, thank you, but BECAUSE I WORKED HARDER THAN MY POMMIE COLLEAGUES!!!
I withstood the same sort of racist envy and belittling that you probably got here initially, and I could trace my ancestry, British and Irish, a lot further back than most of them.
I defended myself by suggesting that the convicts were the ones who'd got caught "having a go" while those who missed out were too bloody idle to try.Went down really well!!
I brought my two children home to get a decent education, and to give them an independence of spirit that seems to have been largele extinguished in the current resident Brit!!!
"Where the action is" is where you make it!!

This is my sentiment exactly. I was born a Brit then I became a Limey in Canada and now I guess I'm a Pommy Cannuck. But, call me what you will, I was happy in the UK, I was happy in Canada and I am going to be happy here. This country is now my latest choice and I will never whinge. I have met lot's of a'holes from lots of different countries, also I have met a lot more great people, and, one thing is for sure: Where you were born does not make you what you are, Character comes from within.

New Zealand was once a part of New South Wales, but then back in about 1860 we gave it to the Kiwis cause they were wingeing too much.

As part of my commentary when driving tour coaches with OS passengers aboard they would sometime s spot the pipes running into the surf, they would of course ask what they were.

I'd reply "Thats the rope tunnel for when all the Kiwi's finaly get here they can pull NZ back where it belongs"
