When i started the very popular thread about Australian inferiority-complex I was naively thinking I was talking toAussies even though this very forum is about Brirish expats.
But the thing I'd like to know about the regular posters here is whether are you all expats or are here some people who just like to mingle in.
I think a very telling question regarding to this site is to ask all posters: Have you ever been to the UK?

I have been to UK, yes.
In the australian immigration forum there are a lot of non Brits, but in the main Australia forum and the barbie I would guess that the majority are British Expats.

I have been once for a very short 3 day visit. I've never been to any other part of Europe but would like to some day.
BS, you might be surprised just how many non-British there are in these subfora.

Spent the first 33 years of my life there ... I suppose I got something out of it ... ![Unsure](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/unsure.gif)
Ah, a sense of perspective, that's it.

My Oldest Daughter has only spent 5 weeks of her 27 years there. The Youngest two have spent less than 9 weeks in total there. Daughter no 3, the Viola player, has been put off by Daughter no 2 who spent 5 years there. Not a priority for her anymore.
The oldest Daughter says she never wants to go there again. Totally unsure how much time the others will spend in the UK in the future.
With every year that passes, there seems less relevance for my Children to visit there. With increasing pull from other destinations

Maybe a poll would be better?

So that'll be a "Yes."
