That's quite funny. I thought you originated from that stock Barry.
No, the correct spelling of Pom, as in pommie, is in fact with one single 'm' not with the two as you incorrectly posted whilst simultaneously pulling us up on our inaccurate spelling. The origin and actual meaning of the term is disputed although it's derogatory connotations by antipodeans such as yourself is unequivocal. I am actually half Welsh half Irish, I believe although it is a generic term fo Brits it is largely levelled at the English.

Typical classic Barry. Your 'pom'posity again precedes you. Posting with the sole intention of pulling us up on our spelling - yourself making a spelling mistake in the same post. Brilliant, this is precisely why we all keep the 'machine' running.

I gather the term "the British Isles" is even in dispute now, with "British-Irish Isles" or " the Atlantic Archipelago" favoured by some, and the Scots uncertain about the Union to boot. I had an English grandfather, from Gloucestershire actually, and hence am perhaps more Brtitish than you are, although the rest of my forbears were all Irish.
Can't agree with you about the beauty of those Isles, having been to the Lakes district, the Cotswolds, Oxford, Wales, Scotland etc. I would much rather consume alcohol (suitably attired in warm clothing other than in high summer) in Edinburgh than Las Vegas.

Yeah.... we invented that. One of Jum's fore bearers I believe.
From what I hear, JKD has a secret lab under his house where
he spends his hours trying to re-invent this one, although you
know this is not him because he isn't reaching around with the
other hand holding an aluminum sauce pot filled with of Campbells
Cream Of Mushroom soup over the flame.
