Default So many poms!

Hey everyone here in Melbourne is British -the guy who runs my local wine shop, the man on the gate at quarantine, the ladies in front of me at the car park ticket machine in South Yarra, the family lunching at the table next to me in St Kilda yesterday...the couple we're buying our house from actually asked us what was wrong with UK as loads of folks they know are selling to Brits.
