True

Several years ago the BBC compiled a series on what happened to the lives of
people who migrated to Australia, as well as the inevitable few who returned.
[Actually there is now a newer series screening on ABC right now - funny in
places]

Anyhow, back then this disgruntled lass, with "deadpan look" facing directly
into the camera said:

"Sunshine, sunshine. Every bloody day, day after day, there was nothing but
bloody sunshine. I got so depressed. Depressed so much I forced my husband to
return. I'm so much happier now.

[Camera pans to obvious long-suffering husband]

"As you can see, she's a right bloody twit"

Cracked me up totally
