Althalus Posted January 21, 2003 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Aussies: Dislike being mistaken for Pommies (Brits) when abroad. Canadians: Are rather indignant about being mistaken for Yanks when abroad. Yanks: Encourage being mistaken for Canadians when abroad. Brits: Can't possibly be mistaken for anyone else when abroad.

Yanks: Believe that people should look out for & take care of themselves. Canadians: Believe that that's the government's job. Aussies: Are extremely patriotic to their beer. Yanks: Are flag-waving, anthem-singing, and obsessively patriotic to the point of blindness. Canadians: Can't agree on the words to their anthem, when they can be bothered to sing them. Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem. Yanks: Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box. Canadians: Don't, but only because they can't get more American channels. Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch four channels. Aussies: Export all their crappy programs, which no-one there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them. Yanks: Will jabber on incessantly about football, baseball, and basketball. Brits: Will jabber on incessantly about cricket, soccer, and rugby. Canadians: Will jabber on incessantly about hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, and how they beat the Yanks twice, playing baseball. Aussies: Will jabber on incessantly about how they beat the Poms in every sport they play them in. Yanks: Spell words differently, but still call it "English". Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it "English". Canadians: Spell like the Brits, pronounce like Yanks. Aussies: Add "G'day", "mate" and a heavy accent to everything they say in an attempt to get laid. Brits: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island. Aussies: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island. Yanks: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas, & liquor in a backwards country.

Aussies: Seem to think that none of this matters after several beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmy Posted January 21, 2003 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch four channels. We pay a tax to watch two channels (BBC 1 & 2) ITV and Channel Four are free, as for Channel Five, well lets not go there. Brits: Can't possibly be mistaken for anyone else when abroad.

emmy Posted January 22, 2003 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem. Thats probably because about 90% of the population don't know the words!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
