Thank you BD. I wondered if anyone would pick it.

I haven't seen it and have ordered a copy (should get it tomorrow or thursday) from my local newsagent who said 'it may be Monday's or Wednesday, I can't guarantee Tuesdays edition but you at least you will have an english newspaper to read..... last time I ordered an independent from him he got me a Daily Star!)

BreeVanDerCamp · 26/06/2007 08:40

Right off to work. Proud to know you.

If anyone could link it online or post it up then those of us who can't find an Independent would be very grateful

Good on you, GGG - I hope it was helpful to you to write it too.

am off to buy - do oyou want me to send you a copy?

Tutter · 26/06/2007 09:20

don't think the article is in the online edition, miaou

hopefully, someone will be willin to type it out for those people unable to buy a copy

ggglimpopo · 26/06/2007 09:24

Thank you but don't worry about sending a copy just yet, but if someone could hang on to one and sned it on if the newsagent gets me Monday's edition or another bloody daily star, I would be very grateful.

When he proudly handed me the Daily Star last time, I pointed to the Vogue and Elle decoration I was buying, then pointed to the front page of the Star and pointed to the array of bosoms on display, and asked him if he really thought I would have ordered that, even if it was in English, and he said "well, the other English woman that lives near here orders it!"

hoxtonchick · 26/06/2007 09:43

it is a lovely article ggg. we have not forgotten maude. xxx.

Wilbur · 26/06/2007 10:09

Beautiful article, ggg. Well done for having the strength to write it so eloquently. Also, I think I missed your happy announcement recently - many, many congratulations for that too. xx

Wilbur · 26/06/2007 10:10

Shall I hang on to this copy for you? I'm happy to put it in the post.

That sounds like a good little ice-breaker, a chance to meet a new expat, GGG,

He tried to get gggl to pay the other woman's paper bill last time I was there, sooz

Boredveryverybored · 26/06/2007 10:31

I have it and will type it out if anyone wants me to..might take a little while though its pretty long

Marina · 26/06/2007 10:37

It's a beautiful article gggl. I am sure it will enlighten and profoundly move everyone who reads it. Love to you all XXX

WendyWeber · 26/06/2007 11:04

Oh don't, BvvB, however vvvvB you are! I have it in a Word doc and can copy and paste it - will do it in chunks.

I don't have the last bit though, that will need copy typing.

I'd love to read it - haven't got access to that newspaper here..

belgo · 26/06/2007 11:06

thank you, Wendy

ggglimpopo · 26/06/2007 11:06

WW - you can't do that as it belongs to the Independent, I think. If anyone would like to read it I can send it privately by email

gggglimpopo at hotmail dot com

I do not have (and haven't seen!) the photos though.
