To: Protect the Bill of Rights
The Times is what the Brits like to call a "quality" daily. It was not a tabloid last time I was in the UK but I seem to recall reading a report recently that said it was changing to the tabloid format.

Perhaps one of our English members will confirm or deny.

Sorry to rain on your thread. I remember a time when we were all required to learn the King's English. The English do not seem to learn the King's English these days.

"Bad grammar will give the people impression you are ignorant" is one of my favorite Mom lines. It gets the obligatory eye roll, but it is true.

Bad grammar aside "Good for the little boy!" I hope he has a good life.

Lady and/or gentlemen? (And Happygal, please forgive my poor Scots heart, I'm not meanin' to call you English, I could never cause a bonny friend such pain.)

The Times is a Rupert Murdoch rag. He is the guy who owns Fox News btw. People who want serious news read the Financial Times or the Telegraph.

He also owns the Sun, the first newspaper to print naked pictures of women on a daily basis.
