richard51 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Aware of Australians recently coming and living in France (24). Even on this forum there is Australian interest. Australians were even in our local French supermarket talking loudly like the Brits used to (still) do. Anybody else with this experience?Saw in paper article that lots of White South African residence are now moving to Australia given that their land is starting to / continuing to be clawed back by those nasty Blacks. Will these people become stateless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 White South African have been moving out since well before the end of apartheid, often to Australia or UK, as they now cannot get jobs in the country where their ancestors have been for many generations.Once the land has been taken it will be the main industries that follow, gold, diamonds and the rest. Which you may say is fair.But judging by what has happened in the Congo and Zimbabwe may not be the promised land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I wonder if they will call themselves "ex-pats". On the whole I find Australian less pretentious than the Brits.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinBretagne Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Paris has a population of just over 2,000,000. France has a population of over 67,000,000. How do you work out that most people live in Paris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Fair point Mr BritI would say 12 million BTW if you include Iîe de France.Still beats the population of the Dordogne. Anyway, in terms of 'region Parisienne' I would say in my experience that the Australians were the loudest. Second are the Americans. I am not sure the British are in the top ten for being loudest or pretentious in terms of nationality. This is just my experience living as a mouse.
