Speaking for Mi sen ... Arrived in Aussie land in '83 and flatly refused
to naturalization cos it meant I had to swear allegiance to the queen of
engerland . Being born and bred in the Republic of Yorkshire I refused to do
this, and held on to my nationality till my boy came home and told me the
rules had changed and you no longer had to pledge your allegiance to the
house of winsor ( or whatever it's real name is). So I took the plunge and
became dinky die. But the kids both took advantage and got UK passports to
travel and work in Europe.

Yesterday marked 40 years to the day I stepped ashore in these fair isles
Considering Im under 50 and have spent over 10 years in the Army of this
country, I guess Id better start calling myself an Aussie now
What tipped it for me, was pi55ing myself larfing when Australia beat
England in the football a few years ago when Kewell tore Rio a new one..
(Saddo points awarded to the first full-on pom who reminds me it was a
friendly and not real football!!!)

Joined list after the the first one - hope he still lurks now and then
