Lol, that's very funny. I'm a Sandgroper aka Western Australian, and I've neither said it nor had it said to me. We don't generally go around calling ourselves Sandgropers, just Western Australians. Btw, personal epithets are dependant on how well you know someone and how you say it as to whether or not its an insult or not. Only among friends, really, can you use it as a jovial term of endearment rather than an insult, so I'd advice you not to go round calling Australians "bastards". Especially not to be used by Aspies, who commonly have problems putting emphasis into their voice, since it will doubtless come out wrong if you're not practiced at it.
