Does anyone else find other British expats a little embarrasing at times?

Shut up, you're embarrassing

Explain.

Don't want to, you'll just be embarrassed.

British Expat cringe you mean?

Yes!

Exactly.

Why would anyone be embarrassed by what someone else does?

Erm.......who ya got in mind?

Yeah! We want details, names and addresses!

No one on here. I meant in real life.

I find the ones most embarrasing with really thick regional accents who slag off the Uk at every opportunity, but whinge when they can't buy bisto.

- yeah i have some people in mind now.

You know the ones I mean. They are the ones on Australia Day dressed head to toe in Australian garb, completely drunk by 10.30 am.

They have usually lived in Australia for about 3 months.

Because I have self respect?

I don't want to be associated with some of my "fellow countrymen".

Not someone else, but I was in a cafe in Melbourne last weekend and found a copy of the international edition of the Daily Express - big union jack beaming on the front page. Reading it made me fairly embarrassed to be British - I hope noone else in there read it!

A couple of years ago my newly arrived, eldest brother threw a tantrum in front of the Telstra guy because he couldnt get wireless internet in his suburb. Unfortunately for my nob of a brother, nobody in Australia could give two shits that he thinks hes the Alan Sugar of Adelaide.

How embarrassing.
