how long till the pom's have bought it ?

Had to look that one up. 

Pommy or Pom[edit]

The terms pommy, pommie and pom, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa usually denotes an English person (or, less commonly, people from other parts of the UK).[9] After complaints to the Australian Advertising Standards Board about five advertisements poking fun at "Poms",[10] the Board ruled (in 2006) that these words are not offensive.[11] The New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority made a similar ruling in 2010.
There are several folk etymologies for Pommy or Pom. The best-documented of these is that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate".[12][13] According to this explanation, "pomegranate" was Australian rhyming slang for "immigrant".[14] Usage of "pomegranate" for English people may have been strengthened by a belief in Australia that sunburn occurred more frequently among English immigrants, turning those with fair skin the colour of pomegranates.[15] Another explanation – now generally considered to be a false etymology – was that "pom" or "pommy" were derived from an acronym such as POM ("Prisoner of Millbank"), POME ("Prisoner of Mother England") or POHMS ("Prisoner Of Her Majesty's Service").[16] However, there is no evidence that such terms, or their acronyms, were used in Australia when "pom" and "pommy" entered use there. Another folk etymology suggests that the term was derived from the word "pompous".[citation needed]

  You didn't have to go to all that trouble for me..........I already knew it.

Same. The standard joke here doing the rounds for years is when a Kiwi gets to Aussie immigration at the airport, and the Aussie counter clerk asks him to declare any previous convictions before entering the country, the Kiwi replies " I didn't think we needed them anymore".
