My mum and dad were £10 poms in the late 60s. Went, with an 18 mo and another on the way, out on a boat. Had a good life in the UK just fancied a change. Returned to the UK later but then fancied going again in the early 80s with two tweenies and a toddler, no job to go to - it was Nissan huts for us. We had such a good time over the years can't wait to go back next year, maybe for good, with my own young children. I just wish it still cost only £10 ;-)
ftr I've never considered Pom an offensive term - just similar to Aussie. As with many such terms it's context, and modifiers, that might change this.
