I am amazed at the negative vibes in many of the threads. People seem to keep judging the place by British standards they are used to. Newsflash folk - you ain't in Britain - so you can't get fu**ing mcvities biscuitsd or Iron Brew and Yes it is ****ing hot - etc etc etc - That is because it is Australia not Kent or Essex or any other county - Get used to it - Put up or shut up!!!
Is it any surprise the Australians refer to us as "whinging pommes"?
Right thats the end of my ... er... whinge I suppose!!!!!

I have a theory about the 'Whinging Pom' soubriquet. The Aussies don't like to rock the boat about anything - look at the quality of the media and the lack of outcry about most things in Australia.
The Brits have a history of rocking the boat in their own country - that's why the country has been so successful over the last 300 years - people stand up and say - 'Hey, what about trying it this way' (e.g. "what about introducing some competition to the supermarket cartel?")
The Aussies can't cope with 'boat-rockers' it threatens the perceived stability and status quo. So boat rockers are.....'whinging poms'.
Now you watch my arse get flamed!!!
