I've got to do something. Either Aussies should be banned from travelling overseas - and especially to the Sceptered Isle - or I need some kind of block on my email which recognises the phrase, "the weather is crap, the Tube is expensive and everything costs money!"
Really, the whining never stops. I'm not going to go through all the obvious stuff again, oh well, I suppose I should - you know there is public transport in London (no, I don't mean a train service that makes the main news story every time it stops), it is not expensive if you bludgers get a job other than working in a pub in Earls Court, and I have seen it rain here too (yes, even in the summer, strangely enough).
But you know what, I'll just borrow a favourite Aussie phrase yet again (which incidentally I saw on a plumber's van again the other day - so original), "If you don't like it, you know what you can do."
Funnily enough, the Mosman princess who sent the latest groaning missive has never worked a solid day in her life on account of her father being fabulously wealthy and somehow thinking it's a good idea to fund her through life. Strangely she expects to pick up some executive position while she's in Blighty. She probably will get a job though and then I'll never hear the end of it - how expensive the sandwiches are at lunchtime, how she has to pay so much in rent (yeah, like it's cheap here, or something), and how they all speak funny (oh sorry, did I miss something? I thought the English came up with...English).
I could go on but I won't otherwise I'll be accused of being a whinger about the whinegers, but do me a favour, when the engines stop I don't want to hear any more whining.
