One thing we left behind in the UK was the class system - surprising how strong that still is in Britain.

All attempts to set it up here have failed.

Hmmm, a lot of Australians go over there a bit like the Vikings used to visit the Uk in times past I imagine. They certainly talk about it in those terms.

To find more fertile land to farm?

**MikeH** · October 22, 2003, 10:04

And yes... Australians have no class.

**Alexander's Horse** · October 22, 2003, 10:05

You certainly get the rainfall.

**MikeH** · October 22, 2003, 10:09

Average annual rainfall where I live is about 700mm, which is roughly the same as Sydney.

A friend of mine who's been living there (sydney) for 2 years says they talk about the weather there more than we do here.

**Alexander's Horse** · October 22, 2003, 10:14

we get more variation I suspect. It is a continent after all

**MikeH** · October 22, 2003, 10:20

Well we're incontinent.

The horrible climate and really annoying wildlife are enough to put me off.

England still has wildlife??

Yeah, no one in australia has any class. That's probably why Bush says that aussies are like texans.

I'd take one Texan or Aussie over a hundred Swedes any day of the week.

No! That's my point.

I'm dissappointed I haven't been shouted at by any Texans yet.

**TheStinger** · October 22, 2003, 10:34

Are most dangerous wildlife is badgers, compare that to the Australian fauna and I'd take the UK every time

Do you have to turn every thread so damn gay?

**Drake Tungsten** · October 22, 2003, 10:37

Yes. Have you ever seen Texan women?
