AUSSIES still smarting from World Cup defeat will have little to cheer about at Christmas as cock-a-hoop Brits give them a sharp reminder, thanks to Osbaldwick-based international retailer expatshopping.com.
Under the banner:
"Give your Aussie mates another good stuffing," the highly-successful trader is offering free Paxo with orders delivered down under during the run-up to Christmas.
The company supplies tens of thousands of expatriates living and working all over the world with British food and groceries, and demand for "a taste of home" is particularly high during the festive period.
Expatshopping.com director Simon Aldrich said: "Paxo flies off the shelves at this time every year but we thought we would have a bit of fun at the expense of the Aussies. We're aware that many of them will be grilling prawns on the beach for Christmas, but expect a further sales boost from celebrating Brits with a sense of humour."
