This was found in the national paper in Australia .......

PORTRAYING Poms as whingers is racist, the advertising watchdog said yesterday in a ruling it hopes will bring clarity to an issue that appears to be foremost in the minds of Australian advertisers: how to bash a Pom and get away with it.

A radio ad for a beer in which a group of Englishmen are heard whingeing and moaning to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory was ordered off air by the Advertising Standards Board.

The ad was part of a campaign to promote an extra cold beer and played on the widely held belief that an Englishman can consume his beer only at room temperature.



Truely, I think the Advertising watchdog is full of POMS - Mr Tex :)

Just to demonstrate how thick the Aussies are, they chill what little flavour there is out of the insipid fizz that they call 'beer' and then try to sell the crap in England!

Some of us wouldn't drink Fosters anywhere!

Only time I drank it was at the British Grand Prix a few years ago because nothing else was on sale - Fosters being then principal sponsor.
So the government says by 2010 30% of us will be fat...I'm just a trend-setter :)
