[QUOTE="Snoweel, post: 462055, member: 4453"] Now Bagpuss... That's just unfair. As far as criminality goes, your countrymen are as bad as mine. It's ironic that a criminal record is what stops a lot of Poms from gaining residency here when 200 years ago, it would have all but guaranteed their "right" to live here. Our ancestors grew up next to your ancestors and were likely no more larcenous. The difference is ours were stupid enough to get caught. BTW - I read that in the interests of making the games competitive, they're going to implement some rule changes. Having overruled the possibility of allowing England to select from all the Aussie backpackers in London, they're now going to rule "one hand, one bounce" for England and "tip and run" for the Aussies.
