OT (sort of) My eldest daughter was asked when applying for a Physio

certificate from the embassy to say that Australia was a country where
the 'predominate'- sic- language was English. At that point she
decided to get a job in the UK.

That's really sad.
I've just been listening to a Channel 7 news report citing the US 9/11
report on deficiencies of knowledge of terrorist threat in the US
during the Clinton/Bush years.
It said (as close as I can remember) that "the Presidents Bush and
Clinton lacked the intelligence to make informed decisions regarding
the risks". Work that one out!
