Humodour Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 It's funny 'cause the Brits basically gave a bunch of convicts some gold mines and sunny beaches as punishment for stealing some bread. Two of my convict ancestors on the First Fleet had the surnames 'Rope' and 'Pulley'. They married each other. http://www.ropepulley.org/index_files/Convicts.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Carlo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The OECD has some ideas: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/natio...f-1226083336849 The results show that Australians are the most satisfied with their lives, followed by [in order] people in Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, the United States, Switzerland, Netherlands and Luxembourg. If you are all so happy why do you need to go on (a) bleating about it and (b) invading Europe in clapped-out camper vans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we obviously also like camper vans. I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
