Well, no real ones. Lot's of other people masquerading as tits, but not breasts.

Or a 'quality' paper......like the Brisbane Courier-Mail

So, in other words. You have absolutely no personal experience of the education system in this country - just second-hand hearsay from a close family member who couldn't hack it here?

Par for the course from you.

So how would you explain the uneducated, thick Brits I used to deal with on a day-to-day basis? Since the education system there is so superior, we can only conclude that the ratio of uneducatable pig-thick morons in the UK outweighs the Einsteins by some margin.

Possibly....but the British solved the problem in the past by shipping them out to Australia.

Still seems to be doing it

Just the Sun or the Mirror, I do miss reading them while having breakfast. No disrespect to the Aussie papers but I cant be bothered with them....they're full of boring stuff....like proper news

I dont even mind if they are a week or so late, is there a service thats posts them over, Mondays edition with the sport would be great to read on the weekend.

MrWoo

All UK titles are available from any decent newsagent (like me

) only a few days late, the Daily Mail prints an edition in Australia every day and is widely available. Weekly editions of the Express, Telegraph, Times, Guardian are popular. Added to this are the Spectator and all weekly current affairs magazines, most popular weekly and monthly mags as well.
