There is defo a cultural difference between UK and Australia.
As a generalization Brits tend to run the UK down and Australians big up Australia. I really wish it was the Brits who shouted a bit more about the positives of the UK but its not something we tend to do... but we wouldn't tell an Aussie that. :) Occasionally I overhear or see stereotypical Aussie behaviour (as described on BE) and it can be annoying - as annoying as a loud Londoner - but noone I know personally or work with is like that. Noone I know bigs up Australia. They have good lives though! |

No it won't becasue it no longer has an empire its just a small resource poor island , while OZ it one of the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of natural resources and agriculture.
the UK no longer has a large manufaturing industry all those jobs have gone to Asia, it has few natural resouces or agriculture its in economic decline while OZ is racing ahead. |

If I ever sense any hositlity I just look at it from another angle. In my old UK "local" if a Pole or an Indian or any other imigrant walked in and started moaning about the UK the poor bugger would probably not make it out under his own steam, paramedics would be needed. That doesn't apply in the UK |
Re: Escape from Oz
If people chose their friends more wisely then they wouldn't have to make such sweeping coments about 'the Aussies'. it seems to take a certain type of migrant to always anquish abput these things. I've long suspected that every time a migrant points a finger there are three pointing back....

My sister in law stayed for two years to get citizenship then left. She has talked about how she hated it and would have left sooner. Why waste 2 years of your life staying in a country you can't stand so you can become a citizen when you'll probably never go back anyway! Makes no sense. Life is just too short. |

I'm not an Australian and I'm inclined to agree with 'redss'. I wouldn't necessarily put it as "go home" but why stay somewhere you don't like. Life's too short.
