I’ve always found it ironic that we (the poms) got this reputation. You talk to a pom in Australia, and they’re (and I’m counting myself here, too) loving being here.

Talk to an Aussie who lives in the UK and all they do is moan about how crap it is

Actually, my biggest problem with this campaign is that there’s no way to spell whingeing/whinging that looks right.

I work for a magazine called whingeing pom which has been around for the last 2 years. The magazine is a look from a Brits viepoint on the differences between the UK and OZ. For the record we take the rise out of the UK more than OZ hence the reson so many of us are here. I think the point that no-one from what I can see has made is that the Poms and the Aussies have one BIG thing in common which is the ability to take the mick out of each other as well as themselves. As a whingeing Pom if I did live in Queensland I would have no trouble at all buying some, most Aussies I know given the chance in WA would love to serve them to me if I was heading round for a bit of bacon and eggs!!!

@ Racist Aussie
Really? What about the Irish? I remember seeing a picture of a Welsh flag painted across the whole end of a house in Australia.

@ Art Vandelay

LOL! I’m glad you realised where the s**t lies that attracts the whinging Poms.

Maree – are you talking about the English?

Scousers?

Even a consummate Pom like myself would have to agree there’s far more crime, bludgers and gangs in the mother country than here.

At least we don’t fill up the gaols, our children don’t go round in gangs stabbing people and selling drugs, we work hard and pay our taxes and are not bludgers, so you can stick your Sunny Queen eggs where the sun don’t shine. No more Sunny Queen Eggs for me.

People, don’t get stressed! We should instead just remember that this is the only way the Australians can try to make us feel threatened. Well, they’ve failed.

Editor you deleted my comment about the Irish as being vacuous and yet you left comment 27 ‘Yes Aussies are dumb racists’. Ok for me to say the Irish are dumb racists is it?

This argument should not focus on the sensitivity of the Poms as I think they get their fair share of mostly good natured ribbing in this Country and seem to handle it reasonably well… this should be about the appalling lack of craft and humour in this pile of shite of an ad produced by an Australian agency

(This comment deleted on the grounds that the editor finds “If your country is so good, why don’t you live there” statements vacuous)

My art director’s Spanish, my girlfriend’s Indian and I work for Jewish guys, all of which pride themselves as Australians. But I’ve never encountered such provincial racism as I have when I tell English people my family’s originally from Birmingham. Strange isn’t it?

English seem to be the only tiffs that consider themselves superior and still English even when they’ve lived here 15 years. What’s the deal guys? Even my girl, who’s been here 5 years calls herself Australian.

By the way, it’s easy for us to spot an east-ender putting on heirs so no matter how you try to round your accent, you’re even worse scum than the people who brought you up ever tried to be. At least they called a spade a spade.
