Subject: Diary of a Brisbane Summer


Diary of a Brisbane Summer (by a Pom)

Hmmmn.... Doesn't sound much like a Brit (POM) wrote this, sounds a bit
Americanised.

While on the topic.....
How valid is the "pom" label toward the English?
I've been told that:
a) It's supposed to be POHM (Prisoner of Her Majesty) and
b) The actual label is supposed to refer to Australians (more specifically
those who are a direct descendant of convicts).
