Poms - they are just different

Very much a product of the environment they grew up in - but they really have some bizarre ways.

Scenario:

A busy street, rush hour perhaps? Yes, it's rush hour - people everywhere, hussle bussle and the odd kiwi accent saying 'excuse me mate'. Ah, the dolcet tones of a 'freshy' - poor bastard, he'll soon learn and be dropping the shoulder like the rest of us. But I digress.

How does a Kiwi react to someone wondering out into the road and into there path? Typically by standing on the breaks and dropping a few curses in said meanderer's direction.

How does the Pom react to the same situation? By standing on the horn and wishing the person luck. I swear, you see it everyday - unless you are watching the couple having a stand up argument across the street from one another, but that's another post...

But still - bless him. They are yet to learn to laugh at themselves - which makes it all the more important fo us to teach them to laugh at them. Uptight buggers, I tell you!
