Lennon, I should point out that Pom is actually spelt POHM. Do you know why? Do you know where it comes from? I do! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I will give you a clue. All the first British settlers used to wear shirts with P.O.H.M. written on them, hence them being called Pohms, or later: Poms. Can anyone guess what P.O.H.M. might have stood for, or am I going to have to be unbelieveably smug all day? A quick quiz for you.
