Why do Canadians Hate Americans?
I never knew they did!
Floridians hate Canadians because they bring their colds south in snow-bird season cause long lines at the the liquor stores while looking for bargain booze and fill up all the bars in at (2-for-1) happy-hour, all the cheap restaurants, Senior Citizen Early-bird-special, Fried Crocodile & Catfish You Can Eat Buffets--Rather like old-fart ex-pats in Pattaya.
Now; why do Kiwi's hate Ozzies? :dontknow:

For precisely the same reason, Edith - sublimated fear expressed as envy of the big neighbour next door. In both places the smaller country (by population) obsesses endlessly about its neighbour, while the larger has better things to do and barely thinks about the other

Interesting idea, thanks. (I'd begun to think I was on your shi...er... Ignore list.)
You may get a laugh out of this: one night while gossi...solving the world's problems...in a Pattaya beer bar we were trying to guess who's who on ' the board.' Someone suggested you and I are one and the same--And someone else seconded the motion--And added bg.
I just, Sphinx like, said, "Really?"
'Singing the Kiwi National Anthem,' I suppose the Ozzies can endure--So long as the Kiwis don't bring along
their national birds.
I don't believe the British hate everyone--Well, not all the British are brutish, anyway--they just think they're better than--And the 'others,' as per homi, 'Have better things to do and barely think about the Brits' -- And can't be bothered to disabuse them of their delusions.
'The Belgians are bigger in almost every way...the Dutch produce more cheeses and are flat.'
Now, that's really funny!
But one must think you've been having it on with the wrong Belgique and Dutchmen...or, maybe, the right ones?

This is an urban myth that Lonely Wombat is perpetuating. NZers who go to Australia after the mid-nineties are not entitled to any Australian social security benefits - and certainly not the dole - unless they travel as immigrants rather than long-term tourists with an automatic, indefinite right to work
