Well...it's certainly better to be British than a stupid Australian convict.

At least the British people have accomplished a great deal, unlike the mediocre Australian rednecks.

meh. when you have to pass maybe 30-40 of them in a five hour drive at harvest time you'd think otherwise (esp in a 1989 mazda hatch :( ), and coming over the nullarbor i pass one every 15mins on average i'd say :p

He does have a point. Even the British Queen rules Australia with an iron fist. They couldn't even get rid of her when they voted, reverting back into the 15th century with Queen worship.

only if they choose to come here illegally ;)

otherwise we are very nice to them, and are probably one of the most multicultural countries in the world...

They're not concentration camps, they're fun camps. They're there for their safety! And considering Australia's immigration policy even in the 1970's, you can't blame them, right?

Well, what can you expect from a nation descended from convicts?

Morning guv'nor! Fancy poppin' down the ol' apple and pears to stick a brew on?



^ No, nobody in Britain talks like that, contrary to popular belief, and we don't all go round singing with umbrellas and chimney sweeps, as you probably thought from Mary Poppins

One thing I like about England is NewCastle Ale. I seriously been drinking that for 5 years now almost exclusivly.

I really like a Ale out of SF area called Steel Head, but it's impossible to find.

You guys prolly got way better than Nookie brown though over there?
