The problem with Australians , Like Vash, is they suffer from cultural cringe-and think the ,say, English know better than them, because they havent experience the rotten English system first hand-they don't realise how advanced Australia actually is.

(d) There will always be problems and troublemakers regardless of where you live. Idiots - like bigots - are a global phenomenon.

I've worked for years in both Oz and UK. In my experience, Oz is far more PC than UK (although Brussels may be trying to change that). And I know how "advanced" Australia is and it is still a backwater.

Has it occurred to you, even with your limited grasp of what is happening around you in the workplace, that you are the problem?

Jeez, at least David Brent is amusing.
