Auzzzie
Whenever I get called a pom I reply right you are Auzzie..I live in New Zealand. Works every time.

me a 'pomme' in nz too
No idea how pom/pomme is truly meant to be spelt (is that not the masculine/feminine spellings respectively?!)

The bit that minorly irritates me is how everyone presumes I'm from London (because lets face it, England is a suburb of London, isn't it), until I open my mouth. then a select few think I'm Scottish, the rest, still London!.
Yup, Scouse accents vs Scots accents. Easy to mistake?

But they don't really seem to have the regional accents the same here, except in South Island they're supposed to roll their rrrrr's a bit more.

And yes, when I get the whole 'accent/difference' thing pointed out, I quite often tell people I have no idea what the difference is between Ozzie and Kiwi accents. All sounds the same to me. (I can actually tell, but it seems to rile the kiwis a bit!)

My boss calls me a pom.
He is a Kiwi and has lived in the UK since 1990.

I don't really mind too much as he doesn't mean it offensively and the banter works both ways.
