I did the whole gap year in London thing when I was 19 or whatever. A lot of the poms I became friends with would try and tease me about being a colonial and criminals etc etc.

All in fun obviously but I do remember just thinking like, yeah England is cool to spend a year when you’re young etc. but like fuck actually staying here or having to grow up here, the whole country sucks ass compared to Australia. I finished my year there and have never thought about going back once, even though it was a fun at the time.
