Cultural differences explained

Postby cwebb » Wed Oct 01, 2003 8:50 am

Aussies: Dislike being mistaken for Pommies (Brits) when
abroad.
Canadians: Are rather indignant about being mistaken for
Americans when abroad.
Yanks: Encourage being mistaken for Canadians when abroad.
Brits: Can't possibly be mistaken for anyone else when
abroad.


Aussies: Believe you should look out for your mates.
Brits: Believe that you should look out for those people
who belong to your club.
Yanks: Believe that people should look out for & take care
of themselves.
Canadians: Believe that that's the government's job.


Aussies: Are extremely patriotic to their beer.
Yanks: Are flag-waving, anthem-singing, and obsessively
patriotic to the point of blindness.
Canadians: Can't agree on the words to their anthem, when
they can be bothered to sing them.
Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to
perform the anthem.


Yanks: Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box.
Canadians: Don't, but only because they can't get more
American channels.
Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch four channels. (or
five, if you're lucky)
Aussies: Export all their crappy programs, which no-one
there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them.


Yanks: Will jabber on incessantly about football, baseball,
and basketball.
Brits: Will jabber on incessantly about cricket, soccer,
and rugby.
Canadians: Will jabber on incessantly about hockey, hockey,
hockey, hockey, and how they beat the Americans twice,
playing baseball.
Aussies: Will jabber on incessantly about how they beat the
Poms in every sport they play them in.


Yanks: Spell words differently, but still call
it "English".
Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call
it "English".
Canadians: Spell like the Brits, pronounce like Americans.
Aussies: Add "G'day", "mate" and a heavy accent to
everything they say in an attempt to get laid.


Brits: Shop at home and have goods imported because they
live on an island.
Aussies: Shop at home and have goods imported because they
live on an island.
Yanks: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas, &
liquor in a backwards country.
Canadians: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping,
gas, & liquor in a backwards country.


Yanks: Drink weak, pissy-tasting beer.
Canadians: Drink strong, pissy-tasting beer.
Brits: Drink warm, beery-tasting piss.
Aussies: Drink anything with alcohol in it.


Yanks: Seem to think that poverty & failure are morally
suspect.
Canadians: Seem to believe that wealth and success are
morally suspect.
Brits: Seem to believe that wealth, poverty, success and
failure are inherited things.
Aussies: Seem to think that none of this matters after
several beers.
