Well you like to pigeonhole people and also seem to get rattled by anything that challenges you egocentric view of the world.

The very things you accuse 'Poms' of........but then you are as much a Pom as you are an aussie so understandable maybe

I've always said we are what we want to be (and you've agreed with me in the past on this). You want to be a Pom, I want to be a Saffa - everyone's a winner

Cor blimey in blighty guv'nor - I'd be the most unpommy pom in the world!

Compared to where? The UK? :rofl:

Okay country, nice people but good customer service (especially in restaurants) it ain't got!

Friends of ours have been. They said it was very good.

You are kidding right? The service and quality of restaurants in Perth is shocking. There are only two restaurants in Perth that offer good service. Rockpool, but the food is crap and Amuse, which I used to love but last time the food was dull.

Most restaurants in Perth give the impression you are an inconvenience as a customer. And most offer pretty dire food at crazy prices. The latest fail being Print Hall. Shocking cocktails, crap food and service was appalling.

Just had lunch there. Great place, great food. Had the Rabbit Tagliolini - very nice it was too.

No I am not! I have a British passport though - as do many people who were not born in the UK

I was born in Chingola, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia)
From the age of 6 months until 8 years old I lived in Filton, England
I then grew up in Benoni, South Africa
I became a South African citizen, through naturalisation, in 1984
I served in the South African Infantry from 1985-87
I moved to the UK in 1995
I moved to Australia in 2005
My father was Welsh and my mother was Czech/Irish

I identify as South African and Australian. I am proud of both.

So that's what your mercenary service in the FFL was like

Now I see where your sense of inadequacy comes from
