I think Freddy and the boys have given Punter's lot a fair go now, time to pull their fingers out and bloody get some of them out ffs!!!!!

It's breaking my heart.... what with having to hog the remote control so I can flick between the Tour de France (go Lance!) and Torchwood and the Ashes.....

Good article.

I especially liked this part:

Australia represents a kind of alternative reality for an English person. It offers freedoms unreachable in this country. If you think social snobberies are a thing of the past in this country, then go to Australia and understand how class penetrates every aspect of English life. In Australia, you can be free, not from your social class, but from the feeling that it matters.

Agree. There is a class system here of sorts but it is nothing like the UK.
