The original phrase was Pome,(Prisoners of Mother England),
That being all our naughty villains,disgraced Politicians,and of course the promise of a great future with excellent prospects, to anyone who would like to join the army, police,nursing profession,and all allied trades,and of course certain women from the criminal profession,were packed of there,to service the above,much to the dismay of the indigenous population.
Now this leads us into a rather odd situation,that the Majority of Australians are not of an original heritage,thereby leaving us to assume,that they are mostly descended from all of the above,making them Prisoners of Mother England,(Pome's), so you see we are not the Pomm's you are,I realize this must hurt,but a couple of cans of the Amber Nectar will soon ease the pain
