To All the Brits and Aussies out there
I saw a rerun of this year's Celebrity Apprentice (the one with Cyndi Lauper) and in this episode, Brit matriarch Sharon Osbourne had a certain dislike for Aussie chef Curtis Stone. It wan't because Curtis was being an asshole to him, but Sharon thought he has this certain "swagger" that turned her off.
This then reminded me of something happened to me months prior. I had an Australian cousin who visited us in San Francisco, and when I introduced him to my girl friend who grew up in Devon, she declined to meet him even though they both haven't met before.
This got me thinking what is it about Aussies that the Brits find so offensive? Is it a cultural thing?
