Since quite a few of you are from the UK...

Quote:Stuff the UK, head to Adelaide

A CONTROVERSIAL new advertising campaign for Adelaide is blowing the trumpet for Australia - while battering Britain.

(The town of) Staines, traffic, weather, house prices and London are all targets in the month-long campaign which aims to encourage more Brits to emigrate to the city.

"Screw working in Staines", "Stuff London traffic", "Sod London house prices" and "Bugger it, I'm off to Adelaide" are just some of its messages.

A campaign spokesman said: "It's a stand-off challenge for people to stick two fingers up to the UK and reach out for greater business prospects, better health care, higher quality education, warmer weather, lower house prices (and) overall a far superior quality of life."

Already, more than 3,000 Brits in 2006 and almost the same in 2007 have emigrated to South Australia thanks to immigration laws which target skilled labour and support business ambition, more so than the UK.

Already Adelaide has poached more than 400 British beat bobbies who were disheartened by UK policing policies and drawn to a career with less crime and where all beat police carry guns.

Considering the Where the Bloody Hell Are You ad (oh, and The Chaser's lovely parody), I wonder how this ad will stack up (okay, I haven't seen the ad).

Adelaide's quite a small quiet place - haven't really been much development there (apparently some government financial disaster has left a big debt).

That was over 200 years ago >_>

Don't think advertising was as prolific in those days as it is now...  or was it?

Come to Western Australia its better.... richer than the other states and much more room..
