Nope but I miss the Guardian, Telegraph and Independant. The SMH is very lightweight compared to the English broadsheets.

Definitely miss The Indie & Private Eye too. Can get 'The Spectator' & 'New Statesman' though which helps.

There's a weekly 'Expat'-style Grauniad which I buy sometimes. Not seen a weekly Indie, though. The weekly 'Telegraph' has a very good crossword.

Here in Melb, there are some quite good articles in 'The Age' from time to time.

Anya.

When I went back to the UK on holiday, I just couldn't get back into any of these papers - I didn't know any of the personalities they were gossiping about. I suppose the Independent and The Times were OK. In OZ I started out with the SMH until it really annoyed me and currently like the Australian or Weekend Australian. The Sunday papers here seem to be a bit like gossip rags too.

To start with, after emigrating, I bought UK papers, especially if anything major happened in the UK, and after a while it became just the Sunday Times and now it's never at all, since the reporting has less and less relevance on my life. I just look on the internet if I want to read something from a UK perspective.
