Deadmeat

Just an idle thought ... is this a record for the number of Australians (or prospective Aussies) gathered in one place? When you take into account population density, anyway.

Last time I was in Earls Court there wasn't an exhibition on and there seemed to be a fair few kicking around ... will this exhibition push the local eco-system over the edge?

Have the lager producers got contingency plans to handle this?

I was wondering myself why people were paying to go into an Expo at Earls Court to talk to Australians about Australia, when instead they could just head to a local bar and talk to the barmen - at least you get a pint when you hand your money over

Maybe it is actually just a huge wheeze dreamt-up by the local landlords.

I can imagine the scene, get in the front door and all you see is Aussie Rules playing on a huge TV and a huge pile of backpacks in the corner.

You need to do both - get both points of view - Expo - yeh come it's great, sun shines, no crime, loads of jobs etc. Then the pub - Sod Aus what would you want to go there for, why do you think I am working here

LOL - ah, balance, of course

thing is, the Aussies in the pub will also tell you that Australia is the best place on earth!! (can't knock 'em too much for their national pride tho!)

If you want a real Aussie pub head to the 'Prince of Tec' on Earls Court Road (turn left out of the tube station). It's one of the original Aussie pubs in London & it's a good one.
