Re: British Expats
Personal experience. Same scenario for every Scot I have asked about it. In some countries it is more obvious than others, probably for logical reasons.
France for example, no need to explain that I presume. America, silly romantic ideas about what Scotland is.
Aus, they have an inferiority complex similar to the Scots regarding the English.

Re: British Expats
I don't actually have a sticker so I can't say. A guy ran up my ass a few weeks back and the old grill destroying towbar totalled his car and left my ute unscathed........

It means that you don't keep going on about how wonderful it was back in England or how horrible it is in Australia that is all.Sue.

Re: British Expats
Here - you'll fit in if you drive like a twat, wear long thick white socks with flip flops, wear furry boots and knitted hats in the summer, wear lumberjack shirts, have long goatie beards, suck on straw and play the banjo at the same time, own a dog and let it bark all day and night whilst threating the neighbours, and listen to dodgy 80's music.
