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.

I really appreciate you clarifying rather then getting snarky. Yes, people can be arses and will anything to get under your skin.

I apologise for the Brit if you apologise for P. Except he had an English Dad, and jis Dad was an arsehole too. And my issues with P were nothing to do with him being Australian... Okay, I forgive you P. Even if you didn't realise he was being held against you anyway.
