Re: THANK YOU AUSTRALIA
But if we want to get factual about it we could say that two thirds of australia doesn't even have any grass because it is desert.
On top of that I could say that the grass in Australia isn't greener than the UK due to the chlorophyll content.

Not a grass to assauage a pining Pom; commonly called spinifex for the reason that it is vexatiously spiny, especially when desiccated under a strong dry season sun to straw yellow.

Yes, I know. Just take my facetious comments with a pinch of salt.

Re: THANK YOU AUSTRALIA
Be aware that should the pining start, the focus of such anxiety can become the shade or texture of green:
