I've heard that a few times.
It must be a buzz going there, pom's have a great time here too you know.

This is a bit similar to Joy B's answer so I aplogise if it overlaps too much.
I always say there are 2 reasons why there are so many Aussies here in London.
1. We can make good money because for every £1 make we get $2.50.
2. We use London as a base for travelling around Europe and even the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. It is so far for us to get anywhere from Australia we are better off basing ourselves in London and exploring the region, using the valuable British Pound to fund our travels, which goes a lot further than the Aussie Dollar.

Aussie land is the great land down under, but all those people in Earls Court just wanted to go over there to visit you!!!
my hubby was a pom & I dare not call him a pom anymore because he says he is not a pom he is an Aussie.LOL

Because Australian's like to travel. The exchange rate at the moment means they can earn three times as much in the UK as in Oz so if they have a well paid job and can save money they are laughing when they come home. Most of us spend our money on enjoying the UK and the rest of Europe. Don't be too down on us as we have areas here that are mainly occupied by POMs. I actually married one. Now I know everything I never wanted to know about football. LOL

Ha! Well all those Aussies (or most of them) come back home. Unlike here in Perth where half the friggin population are geezers from the old dart who cant get enough of the place and live here permanently. Must be something to do with the awesome weather and quality of life, mate.

Because 3/4 of the young Poms are here serving at our local pub or working in our hospitals. (And most of you lot don't ever go home - there's a surprise?!!)

actually, australia isn't as great as you're making it out to be. and
that would be the exchange rate and cheap travel to europe.
