Are we "POM's" obsessed with correctness?
 
When i drove down the Cleveland road, a guy smoking a joint, sipping on a can of VB, happy as larry, probably no insurance, no care, but the average POM in Oz Qld, does care, well i do, is it inbred into your character, do we as a nation believe that what we are taught by our parents; we know it is the correct way?

A thought......................GUBBLYGOOP maybe?

I thought the looting was being blamed on the loss of correctness, as you put it?

Some are...the thing is, define correctness.

There are some Australians who will be more 'correct' than some Poms at the things many Poms define! And many not.

You could be right. Apparently, according to quite a few 'expats' on here, the only bad drivers are Australian ones. ;) Only Australians tailgate or don't know how to use a roundabout or traffic lights. However it would appear that quite a few 'expats' admit to speeding but that is down to rubbish Australian policing not the 'expats' bad driving. Funny old world, ain't it? :lol:

My tail pipe is a no go area for any big brown Ozzy bear?
