Bob mate, I cant its sunk in the mysteries of time, many stories have been put forward on the forum even, but the South African RonnieLowe or similar said it best. something to do with them turning red in the hot Aussie sun and looking like pomegranats come something else hence the word POM. <br />That whole Portsmouth Dockyard was terrific saw the "HMS Warrior", and "HMS Victory" <br />even stood a few feet from where Lord Nelson died after the battle of Trafalgar. We can crticise the poms all we like but they certainly have history and they know how to handle it as well. <br /> <br />The highlight of course was the "Mary Rose" what a wonderful thing and they way it has been done is outstanding; raising her after being on the bottom of the sea for nearly 500 years, was something all poms should be proud of. It is one of the top wonders of the many i have seen in my life, you North Americans and us Aussies can only dream about doing the same. <br /> <br />rgds Ian <br /> <br />ps this topic is getting bigger England might even equal Brians Rabbit or Vics miniscule railway.
