Frank Schnibben Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 To avoid any complicated situations I should like to add in this connection, that I'm currently riding a BSA Bantam in downtown Cairns (see post below) - or is it uptown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's a horrible disrespectful shot at we decent people downunder. Whatever those Poms have said above remember if you're not the right way up you will lose your beer. And in our part of the world that's a mortal sin!

Whatever those Poms have said above remember if you're not the right way up you will lose your beer. And in our part of the world that's a mortal sin! Correct Ian, some 50 % of the globe might think the northern half is going the wrong way. Hope you can smile a bit reading these classical stereotypes. And, you know, we all love Australia - real or/and virtual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Stillwater: the favourite Australian derogatory for Englishmen is POM. Allegedly standing for Prisoner of Mother England, from the convict days. Once the English lost the American colonies, they had to search for an alternative and they remembered Captain Cook's reports. The rest is history. Then after the war we got a surge of European migrants, amongst them more English. As they got preferential treatment and a cheap fare they were called Ten Pound Poms. (A pound (inherited from the POMS) was our old currency before decimal dollars and cents were introduced) And after all Men at Work gave us that great song; The Land Downunder. But don't ever spill your beer, that's a capital offence. For those from more literal countries, this is meant to be ironic, not serious. Although the history is "true".
