Bets of both worlds
OK, we have had the 10 things I hate about Australia and 10 things I love about Australia, so how about designing a country
1. UK real beer (room temperature, flat, and tasty)
2. Australian beaches
3. UK free to air TV
4. Australian prices
5. UK banks (well, the no bank fees bit anyway)
6. Australian flora and fauna (ok, maybe no the spiders, ants and termites)
7. Australian peak hour traffic (away from the capital cities anyway)
8. Australian weather
9. Marmite and Penguins instead of vegimite and timtams
10. The Aussie workers comp scheme, where you can claim if you slam your hand in your front door on the way to work

Except perhaps the British customer service, I think it sux almost as much there as it does here.

It varies widely and any difference would be marginal
