Maybe it's just your girlfriend was being a bitch?

The poms do enjoy stereotyping us as a bunch of uncultural ex-convicts. Indeed, it's quite sad when they come over and start making convict jokes. We just shake our heads; that's ancient history. Of course, if you said we're a nation of bogans, that might ring more true

Our stereotype is that the English are whingers who won't take a bath.

Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

I'll give you the "ex-convicts" complaint, that is fair. However the "uncultured" view is actually the fault of an Australian comedian who makes a living with a stage/TV/movie act that portrays his fellow countrymen as such. He has been doing it at least since the 1960s, and was extremely popular on TV in the 1970s, so it has kind of got ingrained into our beliefs.
