Hate is a strong word.

Familiarity breeds contempt?

Met loads of Aussies and not one of them gave me the impression that they hated the poms?
Would be quite hard really if it were true, as the true poms are (in my opinion) the descendants from Prisoners of Mother England.
I dont believe that in just over two centuries present day Australians have forgotten their ancestry.
Regards Chris and Andrea


Ps watch this can of worms erupt!!!!

I must say, there's nothing like a history of about 200 years eh?
