I can't say have spoken to that many people who have a deep seated hatred of coal.
You are a recent blow in then. Regularly get Brits who say it's just not proper digging out minerals and selling them, why can't those Awstralyans have an economy like wot we had when we was back 'ome.

To be absolutely honest, I'd have probably reacted the same way if I was still in the UK and a migrant had bagged it. However, your beef is with the OP, not the entire country, so surely you can understand people being defensive, as you have been.

You won't find me being critical of Oz, or the way it's run. It's the 'all brits are this' and all aussies are that' that gets on my tits, both countrys have their fair share of arses could that not suffice?

...because your age matters. I will base any future responses to you on it.

You are either 12, in which case, congratulations. Your ability to converse with adults on the level you are is very impressive.

..or, you are an adult. In which case you are an illiterate fool who needs to be pitied.

To everyone, could you please remember my post 123 requesting you don't become personal with comments. You are all doing quite well up to now but in my opinion (as a Mod who can't be bothered with silly people today) as you as you become personal and rude, you automatically lose your argument.

Thank you.

Quite. I'm suspicious of this sudden out break of agreement and seriousness; is this a ruse?
