..i've got no problem with being called a Pom..call myself one!..my OH was called Pommy Kris when he worked in Aus by all his workmates..i wonder if as generations have gone by and it is more and more multi-cultural, whether it has become more endearing..i'm sure when my Mum and Dad emigrated in 1966 my Dad said it was used in more derogatory terms once or twice to him..we (me, OH and kids) never encountered that ourselves..always in very friendly banter, especially in sport!..
