@ I Am His - every country has a history of genocide, rape, pillaging and murder. That’s just what life was like many hundreds of years ago. Try and read up on history without your anti-English goggles on, this is clouding your ability to read facts. Reaching into history and trying to apply it to life today is crazy. Even your precious Ireland has a fair bit to answer for (sailing to the West of England and taking English slaves to trade) see, no one has a rosy history to stop focusing on the ills of just one. If you dislike the poor treatment faced the the aboriginal Australians then do them a favour and give the chunk of Australia you are occupying back to them and move somewhere else. English people living in England today are the ones who didn’t go and take over land from other countries and pass it to their defendants - were the one who stayed here and didn’t take from others so it’s really strange the the defendants of those who did leave their homeland and take land away from others are lecturing the English who stayed put.
@@SoSo-sf1fy Wow, such a great comment of deflection and denial, very typically English of you.

The “English establishment” brought far more English convicts to Australia than they did Irish so if by “bringing us here” you mean bring other English to Australia then yes, they did. I did not in any way imply that English are innocent, if you actually read any of my comments is am clearly stating that Elite upper class English people treated the working class English people horribly and still do. If you want to point out the horrible things that the elite English people in charge hundreds of years ago did then make sure you are pointing your finger at those people, not the working class people who have been treated worse than anyone by the elite English for the last 2000 years. You really need to start basing your knowledge in fact, not misplaced emotion. You haven’t added any comment on the facts of the ‘home children’ or other instances of working class English people who make up Australia so start by that

@@triarb5790 you do realise when the British found Australia they needed to populate it so anyone who committed a crime a crime even as small as stealing bread would be shipped off to Australia to do labour and most of them would stay in Australia when they finished their work so the Australians are related to the British and Irish simple
I am an Englishman now living in Australia. The people have been wonderful to me the past 5 years. We just "get" each other. You don't have to explain things like I have had to with Americans and Canadians for example.
My aussie cousins considered themselves to be so different to us Brits . But they came to the UK and realised we're exactly the same . It's one country but in two different parts of the world .
When I went to the UK, I found out the hard way that they actually drink more alcohol than us, and from a younger age as well. It was quite surprising. Smoking's also more casual. The pub culture was great though. I went out basically 6 nights a week to meet up with people, maybe play some board games or pub quizzes. Also some of the sexiest women I've met are from the UK, and a large part of it has to do with their sweet little estuary accent.
@@lydiamichaels1976 Northern European culture* you will not find this degeneracy in Spain or Italy, only in failed countries like Britain Germany and Scandinavia.
Kris, you should look up Newcastle in Australia. It's just north of Sydney, and I think maybe our 10th biggest city. Anyway, it was founded by Geordies who missed home, so a lot of the suburb names are the same, like Wallsend, etc.
My father's side arrived in Australia on the first fleet in 1778. The convict I'm descended from (can't remember her name) was sentenced to transportation for stealing sixpence worth of fabric. Apparently her little hut it still standing somewhere near Parramatta in Western Sydney and it's now a museum. Honestly, Australia would've been such a tough place to try and tame - but just look at what was achieved. This will sound incredibly controversial, but thank God the Brits sailed in on 1778 and thought "this looks like a good place for a colony!"
It was a "prison" colony built on mass genocide, brutality, murder and rape at the hands of the English. As for the actual physical work that built the Australia that we know today. That credit goes to the Irish who were dragged here in chains. You can all gloss over the brutal history with fantasy butterfly dreams of you like but we know our history and we do not forget.
Again, having to teach you a bit about your misinformed history. English convicts far outnumbered Irish convicts that were brought to Australia as England had a far bigger population and far higher convict numbers than Ireland. Australians have a far higher level of ENGLISH ancestry than Irish, English is the number 1 ancestry of Australians and English last names are the top and most common last names in Australia, NOT irish. If you are so proud of your Irish ‘roots’ then you should be proud of what they actually achieved and not have to steal the achievements of others. You seem to not realise that a massive proportion of English people have Irish blood also. Do everyone a favour and pick up a history book or two before spouting misinformation all over RUclips and looking like a fool.

This was great, I was expecting an absolute pasting because of our sporting rivalries and Australia being part of the commonwealth but it was all so positive, love you too Oz!!
I've known a lot of Aussies and Kiwis, and I'd say we're very much the same. Not in everything of course, but the same down to earth view on life, very straight talking, decent, polite, lot's of swearing, and the same dry sarcastic humour :-)
Aussies and Kiwis are basically British colonists. They're basically British descent. British derived culture. Only the ocean separates them. Australia and New Zealand were colonized by Britons similar to Anglo-Saxon colonization of Britain. Now England.
Ive always loved the australians. Takes a lot of balls to live on a huge landmass where not only does every animal want you dead but you literally have a plant called 'the suicide plant'. You guys are us, just harder. :D
The Australian accent is a mesh between many English accents, when you listen to them pronounce many words; they are pronounced in similar ways to different English accents.
I'm British , Australia and New Zealand are the other side of the world but in my mind they are not foreign to me like for example France which is so near to the UK
Agreed. When I visited Australia it felt like home, the only noticeble difference was the accent. But France feels foreign, not in a bad way, just obviously very different to the UK. Language is part of it but there's more to it than that.
The western Australian accent was influenced by the influx of cockney and rural orphans after WW1 . Cockney greeting 'alright mate' with rural greeting 'how you getting on' became 'How are ya' Heard a llingquist describe that on the radio... sounds plausible. Cheers to all.
Australians care far more about cricket than we do. It's because they use 'The Ashes' to exorcise their chip on their shoulders, so they try extra hard to beat the English. English care more about football and that's why we are far better than Australia at 'soccer;.
As a British guy; the best thing about Aussie-land is the TV show Round The Twist; loved it as a child! Also the fact that we can banter and take the piss out of each other in good humour.
In 1770, Royal Navy captain James Cook, during his first voyage to the Pacific, sailed along and mapped the east coast of Australia, which he named New South Wales and claimed for Great Britain.[1] Seventeen years later, following the loss of its American colonies in 1783, the British Government sent a fleet of ships, the "First Fleet", under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, to establish a new penal colony in New South Wales. A camp was set up and the flag raised at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788, and the British Crown Colony of New South Wales was formally promulgated on 7 February 1788. Further Crown Colonies were established in Van Diemen's Land (now known as Tasmania) in 1803; Swan River Colony (now known as Western Australia) in 1828; South Australia in 1836; Victoria in 1851; and Queensland in 1859. The six colonies federated in 1901 and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed as a Dominion of the British Empire.
Us Brits love the Aussies. We admire their cricketers (some of our Aussies cricketers are hero's in the game in the UK). We love your accent "Strewth" is often used in the UK. We love your out-back, your toughness in terrible wars (WWI/II), I remember my mum said that she heard her mum (my grand-mum) say, "Wait till our Aussies get to them" re the battles against the Germans for Egypt. All the Ausies I have met in London are first class. Our kith and kin in truth!

I love aussies, they are so similar to us. They look so similar too! Obviously because many are essentially ethnically British. I love the accents in this video, so lovely, could almost be a dialect on the Isles.
@@andrewbarrett42 Where are you from? I think their accents are much more similar to those in the UK. Which makes more sense, as unlike America they are a much more homogenous group with less admixture from all around Europe and beyond.
@@andrewbarrett42 Move to America then. A real brit would value Australia, Canada and New Zealand a lot more. Hell they sacrificed their lives in gallipoli and later D-day to help defend the UK. So I'll politely ask you to stop spreading anti-aussie sentiment in this thread.
Cockney being described as middle class is quite shocking. Cockney was an underclass, considered undesirable by middle and upper classes. My old grandad would be sad to hear his accent and way of speech being described as middle class.
Interesting that cricket seems to be a sort everyone in Australia follows but it's definitely more of a middle/upper class sport here in the UK (except for older Yorkshireman)
I love our sporting rivalry with Oz, it's the perfect balance of desperately wanting to beat each other then getting smashed and having a laugh together afterwards
Put an Aussie in England for any length of time and he/she'll sound English. I spoke to an Aussie woman last week who said she was from Sydney but sounded the same as any other English bird round here. Have met hundreds of Aussies all over (except Aus) and they have a similar sense of humour. Great memories of travelling with them 'cause they drink and swear and joke and their idea of a good time is the same as ours
We do not have the class system based mainly on accents like in England …most people sound very similar there just isn’t the class system here …I am glad to say !!! aI have lived here for 42 years and I love the laid back openness of the people
Many years ago, me and some friends went to Northern France, to visit the Commonwealth War Graves and pay our respects, we bumped into some old Diggers, we went to a bar with them for a few beers, what a laugh, some of the nicest and funniest guys I've ever met.......
Most of the Australia living there are all originally from the UK many will never admit and ashamed of the UK hence why most can trace Thier history back to England and Ireland.
Australia is pretty much the better version of the UK that’s got nice weather, looks modern, a lot cleaner and probably more disciplined with a better government. It’s better than the UK it’s just far but I guess if you’re not a frequent traveler then it won’t bother you.
@@chrisklitou7573 Well I wasn’t aware of those things about Australia but wouldn’t you say that in general Australia is the better country than the UK? In terms of everything?
@@chrisklitou7573 doesn’t Australia look modern and clean aswell? Unlike Britain that still has got the old fashioned look and most streets are filled with litter. I mean they’ve had the better government aswell in Australia because apparently it’s covid free and life is normal over there. But the UK still isn’t normal after a year and the government has got no idea what they’re doing.
It's very nice that the ordinary person on the street like the British. The Australian media take every chance to knock the English about anything. Especially the likes of Karl Stephanavic he's always sarcastic.
We are NOT British! I am Australian and my blood is Irish and Scottish. So don't insult me or my kin. We forget nothing! We remember England's mass genocide of the indigenous people of Australia and the brutal treatment of our Irish ancestor's. We are predominantly Irish by the way, with the highest content of Irish descent in the world, second only to Ireland itself. We couldn't give a f**k who's head is on the money. We do not acknowledge the queen in our hearts. That's the government. The Australian people are more akin to the likes of NED KELLY! That's who we class as our hero. That will give you an idea on our views and how we were treated by the English establishment. Go watch "The Nightingale" That is a very accurate depiction of early Australian life. It will show you the kind of horror's that the Irish and Indigenous people suffered at the hands of the English. FACT!!!
@@iamhis4749 Not the government, but the people, voted democratically in 1999 to keep the queen and to not be a republic. The fictional horrors depicted in the film occurred in 1825. Nearly 200 years ago. Am I guilty of my fathers crimes? And for information, my mother nee Maureen Cain was born to Irish parents. Be a proud Australian, but 200 year old history needs to stay there. You're all alone on that hill. We had an actual war with America but we haven't held a grudge. They came and helped us fight some Europeans 160 years later and so did you.
As an Englishman I lived In Melbourne, Australia for a long time & absolutely loved it. I love the Aussies, they may not like me saying this but the Aussies are on the same page as the Brits AND they are just as bad at whining & complaining as we are. Strangely enough I also lived for a while in New Zealand, totally different kettle of fish there. They don't "Get Us" at all. The Kiwi's are on a totally different page than the Aussies & Brits.
I've always felt Australian is really similar to the UK and sometimes the Australian accent sounds like one of the many English accents, unlike American which is totally different.
Australia is literally a Commonwealth country and their head of state is Queen Elizabeth. Australia and the UK are very close countries. The accents are quite similar, although there are some slang differences.

@Abhi-shek TI. blood thirsty lol idk about that its cricket. Why would that make a difference anyway. England and Scotland have a rivalry but they are still culturally more similar to each other than to other countries. In fact id say being closer culturally probably breeds more rivalry
I love the Australians, Kiwis, Newfoundlanders, ETC, they took the best parts of Irish, English, Welsh and scottish culture, as well as, say, SE Asian for AUS, and created a culture that feels both new and exciting, but oddly similar.

Sincere apologies for inflicting Geordie Shore on you Aussies and Brits. Love, Newcastle
Kris, you should look up Newcastle in Australia. It's just north of Sydney, and I think maybe our 10th biggest city. Anyway, it was founded by Geordies who missed home, so a lot of the suburb names are the same, like Wallsend, etc.
I love Newcastle here in the U.K. so much so I moved here from London.
Geordies are awesome people! Apology accepted Kris.
Geordie Shore is a banger of a show. So bad it's fucking amazing lmfao.

My father's side arrived in Australia on the first fleet in 1778. The convict I'm descended from (can't remember her name) was sentenced to transportation for stealing sixpence worth of fabric. Apparently her little hut it still standing somewhere near Parramatta in Western Sydney and it's now a museum. Honestly, Australia would've been such a tough place to try and tame - but just look at what was achieved. This will sound incredibly controversial, but thank God the Brits sailed in on 1778 and thought "this looks like a good place for a colony!"
thats p cool, but... Australia was always p tame before yall invaded us
It was a "prison" colony built on mass genocide, brutality, murder and rape at the hands of the English.
As for the actual physical work that built the Australia that we know today.
That credit goes to the Irish who were dragged here in chains.
You can all gloss over the brutal history with fantasy butterfly dreams of you like but we know our history and we do not forget.
Again, having to teach you a bit about your misinformed history. English convicts far outnumbered Irish convicts that were brought to Australia as England had a far bigger population and far higher convict numbers than Ireland. Australians have a far higher level of ENGLISH ancestry than Irish, English is the number 1 ancestry of Australians and English last names are the top and most common last names in Australia, NOT irish. If you are so proud of your Irish ‘roots’ then you should be proud of what they actually achieved and not have to steal the achievements of others. You seem to not realise that a massive proportion of English people have Irish blood also. Do everyone a favour and pick up a history book or two before spouting misinformation all over RUclips and looking like a fool.

I've known a lot of Aussies and Kiwis, and I'd say we're very much the same. Not in everything of course, but the same down to earth view on life, very straight talking, decent, polite, lot's of swearing, and the same dry sarcastic humour :-)
Aussies and Kiwis are basically British colonists. They're basically British descent. British derived culture.
Only the ocean separates them.
Australia and New Zealand were colonized by Britons similar to Anglo-Saxon colonization of Britain. Now England.

The Australian accent is a mesh between many English accents, when you listen to them pronounce many words; they are pronounced in similar ways to different English accents.
Thank you very much for lots of positives,Your not so bad yourselves.Lots of love from the UK & a very happy new yr xxx♡♡♡
I'm British , Australia and New Zealand are the other side of the world but in my mind they are not foreign to me like for example France which is so near to the UK
Agreed. When I visited Australia it felt like home, the only noticeble difference was the accent. But France feels foreign, not in a bad way, just obviously very different to the UK. Language is part of it but there's more to it than that.
The western Australian accent was influenced by the influx of cockney and rural orphans after WW1 . Cockney greeting 'alright mate' with rural greeting 'how you getting on' became 'How are ya' Heard a llingquist describe that on the radio... sounds plausible. Cheers to all.
It's "How yer going" ? in WA
I used to live in Forry.. Now back in the UK since 83
(They say a crim always returns to the scene of the crime ! lol)
Mate is very northern not really southern
I love our aussie cousins, wish they would stop smashing us at cricket though lol. greetz from the Uk
Australians care far more about cricket than we do. It's because they use 'The Ashes' to exorcise their chip on their shoulders, so they try extra hard to beat the English. English care more about football and that's why we are far better than Australia at 'soccer;.
As a British guy; the best thing about Aussie-land is the TV show Round The Twist; loved it as a child! Also the fact that we can banter and take the piss out of each other in good humour.
great video!! i think that one girl was confused about england but the old man was killin it!!
Haha, thanks Sandra! 😁
I find Australian's 'sunny' positivity jarring. It all seems a bit false. Britain is just the best at everything. It's the epicentre of the world.
Britain is a miserable nation of people who hate everyone.
Cockney is middle class, never heard that before :)
As a Brit been to Australia,amazing people and amazing friendly people and grea allies.
In 1770, Royal Navy captain James Cook, during his first voyage to the Pacific, sailed along and mapped the east coast of Australia, which he named New South Wales and claimed for Great Britain.[1] Seventeen years later, following the loss of its American colonies in 1783, the British Government sent a fleet of ships, the "First Fleet", under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, to establish a new penal colony in New South Wales. A camp was set up and the flag raised at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788, and the British Crown Colony of New South Wales was formally promulgated on 7 February 1788. Further Crown Colonies were established in Van Diemen's Land (now known as Tasmania) in 1803; Swan River Colony (now known as Western Australia) in 1828; South Australia in 1836; Victoria in 1851; and Queensland in 1859. The six colonies federated in 1901 and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed as a Dominion of the British Empire.
Us Brits love the Aussies. We admire their cricketers (some of our Aussies cricketers are hero's in the game in the UK). We love your accent "Strewth" is often used in the UK. We love your out-back, your toughness in terrible wars (WWI/II), I remember my mum said that she heard her mum (my grand-mum) say, "Wait till our Aussies get to them" re the battles against the Germans for Egypt. All the Ausies I have met in London are first class. Our kith and kin in truth!

I love aussies, they are so similar to us. They look so similar too! Obviously because many are essentially ethnically British. I love the accents in this video, so lovely, could almost be a dialect on the Isles.
But instead of having hedgehogs, the have echidnas
I don,t think so,Australians are more like Americans,culture,slang and very similar accents
@@andrewbarrett42 Where are you from? I think their accents are much more similar to those in the UK. Which makes more sense, as unlike America they are a much more homogenous group with less admixture from all around Europe and beyond.
Australians also have crocodiles and other awesome reptiles, while america and Britain are full of filthy mammals
@@andrewbarrett42 Move to America then. A real brit would value Australia, Canada and New Zealand a lot more. Hell they sacrificed their lives in gallipoli and later D-day to help defend the UK. So I'll politely ask you to stop spreading anti-aussie sentiment in this thread.
Cockney being described as middle class is quite shocking. Cockney was an underclass, considered undesirable by middle and upper classes. My old grandad would be sad to hear his accent and way of speech being described as middle class.
Interesting that cricket seems to be a sort everyone in Australia follows but it's definitely more of a middle/upper class sport here in the UK (except for older Yorkshireman)
I love our sporting rivalry with Oz, it's the perfect balance of desperately wanting to beat each other then getting smashed and having a laugh together afterwards
Put an Aussie in England for any length of time and he/she'll sound English. I spoke to an Aussie woman last week who said she was from Sydney but sounded the same as any other English bird round here. Have met hundreds of Aussies all over (except Aus) and they have a similar sense of humour. Great memories of travelling with them 'cause they drink and swear and joke and their idea of a good time is the same as ours
Ginge sounded reasonably knowledgeable until he described Cockney as middle class 🤣🤣🤣 that bloke has made my day
We do not have the class system based mainly on accents like in England …most people sound very similar there just isn’t the class system here …I am glad to say !!! aI have lived here for 42 years and I love the laid back openness of the people

Australia is pretty much the better version of the UK that’s got nice weather, looks modern, a lot cleaner and probably more disciplined with a better government. It’s better than the UK it’s just far but I guess if you’re not a frequent traveler then it won’t bother you.

As Greggory House once said:
"You put the Queen on your money, you're British"
We are NOT British!
I am Australian and my blood is Irish and Scottish.
So don't insult me or my kin.
We forget nothing!
We remember England's mass genocide of the indigenous people of Australia and the brutal treatment of our Irish ancestor's.
We are predominantly Irish by the way, with the highest content of Irish descent in the world, second only to Ireland itself.
We couldn't give a f**k who's head is on the money.
We do not acknowledge the queen in our hearts.
That's the government.
The Australian people are more akin to the likes of NED KELLY!
That's who we class as our hero.
That will give you an idea on our views and how we were treated by the English establishment.
Go watch "The Nightingale"
That is a very accurate depiction of early Australian life.
It will show you the kind of horror's that the Irish and Indigenous people suffered at the hands of the English.

@@iamhis4749 Not the government, but the people, voted democratically in 1999 to keep the queen and to not be a republic. The fictional horrors depicted in the film occurred in 1825.

I've always felt Australian is really similar to the UK and sometimes the Australian accent sounds like one of the many English accents, unlike American which is totally different.
Some of the remote coastal American accents are similar to West Country accents.
Australia is literally a Commonwealth country and their head of state is Queen Elizabeth. Australia and the UK are very close countries. The accents are quite similar, although there are some slang differences.

I think Australia is very similar to the UK from what I've seen. Also cockney is definitely not middle class. Middle class is moderately posh. Not many people are upper class, they're the ones that go to posh boy schools and have second homes in Norfolk and all that.
most people outside the uk only see the upper class people instead of everyone else and thats why everyone stereotypes uk as posh
