Dodgy Business
After a winter with the nutty English, Tony Dodgins is delighted to be on a plane to the land of Oz...
Family ties apart, it was almost refreshing to be climbing aboard the big bird for Oz. When you're travelling constantly you tend to miss out on the UK news, or at least grab it in snatches. But when you're in the UK for five months consecutively it just serves to confirm, without doubt, that the loonies really are taking over the asylum.
When you've read about the 10th case of someone being awarded thousands because he's been called 'a Nancy Boy' at work, or the pensioner threatened with jail because he's had the temerity to barrow back onto the beach the sand blown into his garden, you really do start looking forward to heading somewhere more sensible.
