The city of Adelaide has released a new marketing campaign that outrightly and unashamedly slates working in Britain with catchy slogans such as "Screw working in Staines."
As much as I'm sure Adelaide is a lovely place, there are other alternatives in the UK should working in Staines become too much for you.
Apparently there's no animosity in the advertising, a spokesperson for the marketing campaign explained "It's a stand-off challenge for people to stick two fingers up to the UK and reach out for better business prospects, better health care, higher-quality education, warmer weather, lower house prices - overall a far superior way of life."
Fair play as advertising strategies go, but telling me something I already know isn't necessarily going to make me throw in my job, drop my wife and kids and move to Ramsay Street, it'll help, but not be the sole factor - that'll be when I see Neighbours on Channel 5.
"Bugger it, I'm off to Adelaide".

I love the Aussie's wit - they just don't care about people complaining about their approach or being forced to follow the PC line.
One of the best non-PC ads ever has to be the classic Terry Tate: Office Linebacker. -
I'm leaving for there I'm hopeing. Would they let me in if I trained and qualified as an RSPCA Inspector? Can my Kackariki come? Jengo's from New Zealand...PLEASE?
