Now, a thread titled "I don't like Australians.....open slather" - that would be interesting (not that I have anything against them myself).
People like to whinge. They whinged about the UK and left for Australia. Now they whinge about Australia. At some stage some go back and then start whinging about the UK again after a while. Some even go back again to Australia and start whinging about there again. Glass half empty I'm afraid. You wait, they will whinge about this post too. Whingers.

I love to live in Australia but have things I dislike about the place....

The agressive driving style.
The way they pronouce words like "Debut" "Maroon" and a couple of others.



Wow, thought this list was gonna be easy but looks like I been here long enough that this is the only couple of things I can sum up, the rest of the list when I first arrived 6 years ago has gone. Must be becoming an Aussie meself then

Dont mention Maroon! It gives me homicidal tendencies.

THE DRIVING!!!

I dont get it...its either a big race to get in front of you, or if you are leaving a sensible distance between the car in front then some idiot in a Hilux will try and squeeze into that gap.

then you get the weaving in and out of lanes...STAY IN YOUR OWN BLOODY LANE!

No idea how to merge, again its a race.

But the strange thing is...they dont actually drive very fast, its this massive rush to get in front of you then they just slow down...and start weaving again.

And whats the deal with personalised number plates and stickers on your rear windscreens?.....PIKEYS!
