I should have said some Yanks and Poms, I know that most do not hold this view. It was clumsy wording on my part. I worked with a young British guy many years ago who used to take great delight in telling everyone he met who was not born in Australia, that this would be a great place if "we" could just get rid of the Aussies. He was an arrogant son of a bitch, but I should not generalise. My apologies to all my Yank and Pom friends (and I do have many). I just get tired of the convict heritage being brought up all of the time.
