[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 398646, member: 1991"] It's the Daily mail. That's the newspaper for people whose lips move when they read... seriously, it's barely worth wrapping the vegetable peelings in. We (Australia) have been playing England in the cricket Ashes series. We lost. England won. OK, you expect some friendly rivalry, but the UK Daily Mail then published an article saying, "What use is Australia?" and encouraged people to write in, phone in, email in 'bashing' Australia purely because we lost at cricket. Very childish, very pointless and, frankly, it is NOT cricket to do this. It devalued the English win, I felt, by showing bad sportsmanship. But husband pointed out, "Daily Mail readers don't read the articles. They just buy it to look at the page 3 girl." He reminded me of a quote from one of our favourite, brilliant British TV series, "Yes Prime Minister". "People who read the Daily Mail don't care who is running the country, as long as they have big ****." So pay this survey plenty of never-mind. It's merely a cheap attempt to grab some sensationalist attention. Marg [/QUOTE]
