I was surfing a totally unrelated story on the BBC website when I stumbled on this: Brits Abroad ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú a comprehensive guide to where Britons live around the world.From the site:
“An estimated 5.5m British people live permanently abroad ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú almost one in 10 of the UK population”
And where do most of them live? We’ll it would suprise no one in say Joondalup or Rockingham in Perth that the answer is Australia:
They’ve always said that the British have good taste 🙂
Did you know that there is now a concerted effort by a variety of groups to have the word ‘Pom’ banned from the media and perhaps even have it banned as racial vilification?
Somehow it seems to add new meaning to the term ‘whinging pom’
The best comment I ever heard by some dissatisfied “english people” leaving Australia, was “it just wasn’t like neighbours”.
