Whingeing Pom


I've met dozens of Australians and I'm friends with some of them. But I have to say I've never known a nationality to whinge so much.
And they never go home.

I'm an Aussie born and bred and I couldn't agree with you more, we as a people are the biggest bloody whingers. Such a pessimistic bunch, I worked with a lot of people from the UK as a salesman over here and most have been much more positive. That dude in your link does a great Aussie accent too, sounds like he's straight off a shift working the cane fields in Northern Queensland haha.

P.S. the never going home thing probably applies to your lot over here too, I think last census showed that 1 in 20 aussies is a pom :-)

Yeah you're probably right about the amount of Brits over there.
Hopefully they're not moaning as much as the Aussies do here :)

Actually I generalised a bit, I suppose I'm just a bit bored of the whole 'whingeing pom' thing.

Shame really as I love a lot of Oz cinema so would've checked this out. But I suspect it'd just wind me up.

That dude in your link ...
Alan Davies ... doing a great job at taking the piss right out of everyone (to an Australian audience I think), Aussies Poms and the Queen herself! 🐭
