Default Daily Mail Weekend article

Hi,

do any of you good people have a copy of the 'homes abroad' feature in the Weekend magazine this week with the feature on Australia?
We have heard that our piece has been published but haven't seen a copy yet!

Thanks for your help

Mark

Hi,

You can get access to all the Daily Mail supplements on line. Go to dailymail.co.uk, click on e editions and register for a weeks free trial - you can then access on line a copy of the actual paper, can also search back issues.

Just read the article. Glad it's worked out for you.
A few of the Daily Mail's pearlers:
GBP100k (AUD235k) in Perth for a house with a pool, near the beach. Yeah right!
Violent crime is rare.

The DM has got to be one of the worst newspaper in the world. No disrespect to the OP.

"The DM has got to be one of the worst newspaper in the world. No disrespect to the OP".




none taken! not that impressed with the article I have to say, to misslead people into thinking you can get a good property on the beach near Brisbane for 110K sterling is outrageous - maybe a highset in Ipswich ....

I like the Daily Mail. It may sensationalise some issues but it was one of the few newspapers that was not in love with Tony Blair and New Labor and believed every word they utter. It would highlight issues and declare that things are not good enough the way they are, when most other newspapers just skirted around issues (or relied on Page 3 girls)

The paper is in love with, wanted to be the middle class housewife.

What dd they say; "read by the women married to the men that run the country"

ah - here it is:

"
The Times is read by the people who run the country.

The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country.

The Express is read by the people who think this country should be run as it used to be run.

The Telegraph is read by the people who think it still is their country.

The Guardian is read by the people who think they should be running this country.

The Mirror is read by the people who think they are running this country.

The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country.

The Independent is read by the people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong.

The Evening Standard is read by people who are less interested in who's running the country than in getting a seat on the train home.

The Star is read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as they do something scandalous.

The Sun is read by the people who don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big boobs.

Ha!

My Mum was telling me about your aricle, I think. It made her feel better about us going even if some of he facts were a little "wrong", she dose'nt know it and we're more realistic. She did think your life in Oz sounded really nice though.

thanks for that - Australia has been pretty good to us so far, I guess it's about perseption. I doubt anyone seeing the article would be any wiser as to how our life is, these sort of things can firmly fix those rose tinted specks to your face until it's too late and your at the airport in a new country facing the harsh reality of relocation. If you really want it and are willing to accept that sometimes your dream may dissapoint you, and that trouble in paradise is all too common - then life could be good for you here. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but thats just how it is.
It's not a holiday. It's living. And it can be great living!

Very good but just a few quick corrections:

The Gaurdian is red by the people who tink they should be ruining this country.

The Express is read by people who are encapsulated by the Royal Family who allegedly run the country. (eg headline from DE in 1956 'Diana to be born in 6 years time', headline from DE in 2006 'Diana inquest cover up', blah, blah, blah.
