Love the way people dress in Aus - refreshing/individual/carefree!

Much better than having kids mugged because they aren't wearing the right trainers if you ask me

I personally think him and his wife have run out of things to say to each other and this is how they spend their evenings, laughing at the locals, because otherwise they'd be forced to look at their own inadequacies and face the horrid truth about themselves.

couldn't have put it better

Im sure that the camel toe and muffin tops are the in-thing with the young girls in the UK.

You cant miss them, some of these girls think that to split ones vagina in half with the tightest of jeans, or to have a large belly overhang over their trousers is the cool thing to do.

And what makes it worse, is the designer gear they wear to show off the above, as if it makes it any better.

The aussies might not have the fashion sense that some Brits might think they should but if we are going to slate them for it, then perhaps we should look a little closer to home.
I Agree, i have known many continentals who shudder at the atire of many of the Brits, especially when it is minus 4 degrees and all the women are out in clothes better suited to summer... try going to Italy to see how fashion really works. I think this 'my 500 pound Gucci atire is better than your Matalan gear is a crock of s**t, personally i think anyone who relies on looking posh to get on in life is missing the point..i much prefer the relaxed attitude to dress

Couldn't agree more. Exactly what I was thinking.
