This thread is pointless as most responses have been deleted.
Anyway I just find it absolutely bizarre that so many British people view Australia as being a tool to meet their life demands and that if they are not met then that somehow makes Australia faulty. I just find that mindset totally bizarre. I can not think of any other equivalence between 2 other countries.

I think you will find that it was only the upwards eye roll and resigned sigh that was invented here. Usually in response to some white kneed 'new chum', fresh off the boat, determined to teach us colonials 'how to do it right'.
I believe that the 'Shoulder slump and head droop' was invented by English batsmen as a way of keeping themselves occupied on the long walk back to the pavilion.

Crocodile Dundee.
You lot can keep the Pavlova - yuk -, although it was the Kiwis that apparently invented it.
