The Barry McKenzie movies sent up the Aussie male going "home " to Britain,
which was a very real phenomenon until we broke our ties with Britain. The
original comic strip is very funny.

The attitudes of Australians have changed incredibly over the years. We no
longer prefer to buy British, although Qld and WA seemed to hold out the
longest!

I remember celebrating empire day at school, and saluting the Union Jack
every Monday morning at school assembly.

Cheers
