Ironic how so many descendents of immigrants here are viciously "anti immigrant" today

What actually constitutes "native British" anyway? We are a mongrel nation with a horribly short memory.

Mate , the next thing you will be saying is " The British went everywhere in the last 400 years, all over the world, and now the ones left behind have the audacity to complain when people from around the world want to immigrate to the UK!!!" Where is the "smiley face" for run like hell!!!?

I wasn’t actually referring to migration to Britain. I was referring to migration away from Britain to Australia, a subject I have a modicum of experience in.

Had an old German that farmed across the road from us. He came with his brother post ww2. He had been in the hitler youth as an apprentice mechanic. Never forget one day he was telling me that they were given trucks to fix up and he said his was the best mechanically. But then they had to paint them and he said "oooh oooh oooh mine was no good" I said never mind Joe they would have all looked the same when the Americans dropped a bomb on them...

I once saw a fella wearing that exact outfit leaving a brothel

I hope it wasn't you? Secret's safe with me, if it was..... but I do remember it quite clearly.
How NZ is that, he even got into a Hilux....
We were boozing in a bar across the road and most of us had a pretty good laugh!

I think the best comment was: "he must have got paid for his wool"

I’ve never seen you wear a black singlet. And my memory isn’t pulling anything up of shorts and sandals either

Jeans and multicoloured polo type shirts!

 

[FonterraFarmer]

Sandals???!!! Polo shirt
Canturbury ugly shirt (as always) and Levi jeans , no black singlet because it was too hot , but it went everywhere , never leave home without it!!!







I might have looked a bit too different wearing shorts and jandals!!!
That lake was bigger than it looked too.
There was only one picture of me taken in Alberta and you have already seen that one.

Even when I wore my black singlet, they didn't figure out I was Kiwi

 

[Blaithin]

Would’ve thought you were Aussie

There’s nothing over here to make someone link black wife beater with kiwis.

Like an Aussie would wear a shirt with 3 kiwi's on it ?






Thats like mistaking Donald Trump as the PM of Canada!!!

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Which is akin to the assumption Jacinda is "the leader of NZ"

Surely the Aussies wouldn't do such a thing?
Next you will be suggesting the Poms would wear one too.

Just been reading back on this thread, and the way in which pommie immigrants arrived in Aus is interesting to me. We only found out a few years ago that we have more relations of our family in Aus than here, a lot involved in farming still maybe around Kojonup WA, and plenty spread all over and in USA. We have only met one of them though! but have been in contact over the family tree. The mystery is the link of the man who landed in Melbourne and who they have traced back to there, but I still haven’t found the connection here. Whether he took ship as crew then did a runner to the hills in the Gold Rush, or if he was a convict, we just don’t know.
