Aussies and Kiwis are treated like foreigners in a country where they sacrificed a great deal for in two world wars. It is quite rediculous.
Don't forget that a large chunk of us are eligible for British citizenship too because of our parents and grandparents. Kinda funny how much animosity there is considering how short a time our populations have been separate.
Animosity from Brits towards Aussies? I've never heard any. I mean there is plenty of banter especially when the Ashes are played but apart from that I have never in my life heard a Brit slag off an Aussie in the UK. I think we look at you as being Brits who won the golden ticket and managed to get out. So a little jealousy maybe but no animosity whatsoever.
I wouldn't know from a British point of view... We definitely prefer Brits over Americans though.
