Why is it aussies call brits 'whinging poms'...

[Mark]

...when as soon as they get over to the UK, they never stop bitching about the weather, the food, the tube, the beer, the tv, and everything else. What a bunch of fucking WHINGERS! GO HOME!!

 

[The Amazer]

Bloody whinging pom.

He even whinges about whingers.

 

[Mark]

I'm not a pom, ya dickfuck!

 

[Spruce Goose]

I'll be in London (as well as Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Amsterdamn, Switzerland, Netherlands, Singapore) in just over 2 months

 

[Spruce Goose]

And I just bought myself a big fuck off woollen jacket like the ones they wear in the Matrix, so hopefully I will be covered. Also have gloves, beanies and scarfs galore

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I want to go somewhere.

 

[Southy]

so Marky, your whining about ex-pats like yaself??...so your whining about yourself??

 

[The Amazer]

I just assumed you were, by all the whinging

 

[Mark]

Southy, I'm only whining about ex-pats who whine

Spruce - you should be fine! It doesn't get ball-crunchingly cold until Jan/Feb!

 

[Goreripper]

I guess we just want to show them what we have to put up with when they come here!

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah, I'll be there Dec/Jan

I'm pumped

 

[Mark]

How long you in London for? Where're you staying? Been here before?

 

[Gavin]

most poms think all the other cities in the world were put there for there amusment, and there just not up to scratch

 

[Mark]

Don't be an ignorant cunt, Gavin.

 

[Goreripper]

I think Gav's getting Londoners mixed up with Americans.

 

[Southy]

indeed Gorey

 

[Spruce Goose]

I'll be arriving in London 22nd December and leaving 28th December. Have no idea where I'm staying. That is the only part of my trip that isn't planned as a matter of fact.

And no, I have never been there before. I want to go to Abbey Road and Do Jack the Ripper. Anything else cool I should do?

 

[KoichCPA]

I want to go to Abbey Road and Do Jack the Ripper.

 

[Mark]

The jack the ripper walk is cool, and usually only 5 quid!

Erm, no idea what else you could do other than do a lot of walking and see a lot of cool things

Walk along the Thames at nighttime - that's always cool.

 

[Gavin]

Don't be an ignorant cunt, Gavin.

Excuse me!

You brought up this discussion and started bagging Aussies in London. You asked why aussies call brits Winging poms.
I know you have been living there for a while but I have travlelled quite a lot and I was just giving my opinion on a question you asked.
Obviously you can't genralise on any race of people but In my experience of english tourists in many places its easy to see where they get that lable.

And about the american thing. Most americans don't have a clue about most other countries. But if they do travel to them they are generally extremely polite and respectfull to the locals.

So how am I ignorant? your not the first aussie to live in London you know.
