How to spot a whinging pom.
I wonder what my chances of blending in are when I get to Oz...
What things identify a Whinging Pom at 50 paces??!
How about covering yourself liberally in sunscreen yet wearing as little as possible?!
Any more tips to avoid ridicule when i get there?

Just keep saying how much you love the country
Dont start conversations by whinging about- the weather, cost of things, politics etc
You will generaly find that aussies are pretty big whingers. So just join in with them when they start, which is generally every 5 mins

You know you have spotted a whinging pom when you hear someone complaining about the heat when it is 18C.
