Would that be why she said he is doing it for Australia? His mother seems to have an Australian accent and it does sound as if they think of themselves as Australians even though they, as most Australians had British ancestors.

No he's Australian as he was born there & brought up there... He does however hold a British passport because his parents are British..

Hell yeah. Mr gameplayer had his gameplan torpedoed by his own Mother. A Mother who he claims is English and wants to move back here with him in tow.

Funny, I didnt get that impression. She's sounds more Aussie than Steve Irwin and her comment about him not doing anything stupid in the final weeks was very telling.

Told ya he was here for the prize money.

"A Mother who he claims is English"
what are you on about? She is an oz citizen born in the UK. She's been here since a child. That means JJ1 can apply for a uk passport. Pretty simple really but somehow for you this all adds up to "Told ya he was here for the prize money". lol!! Make sense will ya?

All 'australians' are English, as are the American's, Canadians and New Zealanders.

His mom is trying to tell him he's second favourite to win.

Lol, it doesn't make them English though... Only Australia, New Zealand & Canada are part of the Commonwealth now anyway (with The Queen being their had of state) but many Australia want to become a republic...

But they have English roots though so they are linked to Britain.

Yes it is true. You can blame Christopher Columbus for descovering America. He was going to India and he went of corse. That is why the Native Americans are called Indians.

I agree for Australians and NZ'ers (except for the aborigines and recent immigrants) since they were English colonies.

But try and say that to a French Canadian and you better be real careful, people have met a lot of trouble from French Canadians from saying less.
Also in Canada the most common last name is a Asian last name and Canada has the largest East Asian population outside of Asia.

I'd say American's are more Irish than English...doesn't seem to be much of an English culture there, bar the language...you can definitely see the Irish culture there though.

Actually, the largest immigrant nationality in the USA is English. Source: Ellis Island Museum... if you feel you need to check.
