"We are Australian, through and through, and we refer to the English, not just as English, but as Poms. Or pommy bastards. Or bloody whingeing poms. That last expression comes about because the Poms have always been perceived as coming over as immigrants and then continually complaining about the state of affairs in Australia. "It's too hot", whinge the Poms. "The beaches are too sandy!" they cry. "The sea is too wet!". And so on, and so forth. At least that's been the stereotype.

Too many bloody fresh vegetables in the food over here, if you ask me. Can’t get a decent fry up for love or money…

Stephen, Pommy Immigrant, by e-mail, 13 Jan 2005"
