It seems us poms are hoodie wearing, snot wiping yobs. Couldnt they at least get a genuine accent going? And it was paid for by the Aussie government

Tiny cocks - fair do's. Maybe the british campaign could start with someone asking those classic pub teasers: For 1 Gold, name 10 world famous belgians and australians (not including the surnames minogue and harris and double gold for any prior to the 80s). For a Silver, just name any 10 belgians and australians known in the uk. For a bronze you can include soap characters and animals.

Germaine Greer.

Do i get gold?

It's sad that the history taught in Britain is so insular that your average pub goer couldn't name 10 famous Aussies and Belgians

There is Luc Vandevelde to start with.

Wasn't she one of the GB cyclists in Beijing?

Education is rather insular - that's the nature of nationhood.

As a brit born in Belgium and living in Australia I was just remaining firmly tongue in cheek in line with the campaign, so possibly your reply's a tad serious.

No, no, he said prior to 1980s. I'm still winning

Whos is this Luc anyhow?

I was taking the mickey

I remember Eddie Merckx when I was a kid. Was he before 1980?

Also one of my favourite painters. Rene "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" Magrite must have been before 1980?

He was the Chairman of that knickers company Marks & ??? oh yes Spencer, and he was born in Belgium.

Sir Don Bradman
Dame Joan Sutherland
Dame Nellie Melba
Sir Robert Helpman
Dr Victor Chang

There you go, there are 5 world famous aussies off the top of my head from before 1980's, perhaps someone from belgium can do their five and we can share gold.

Noooo!! I won, i was first to name one CHEAT!!

Ahh, lost in transmission. It's true though - I'm struggling with Australians and no hope with Belgians.

Aussies pre 1980 ?

Sir Jack Brabham to begin...

Oh, it should be easy actually, if you read the UK Times...
