A Man, A Transport Card, and His Curious Death

Nine months ago in Sydney, authorities found a man who had nothing on him that would indicate his identity except for an electronic transport card, the Opal card, tucked in his pocket. Who he was and what had happened to him was a mystery? Apparently, they ruled it a suicide since there was no other evidence to suggest any other cause of death. But it was known that the man always began and ended at a bus stop called "Dan's Corner".

Read more on The BBC for other details about the mysterious man's life and the investigations conducted on his case.

"As foreigners advanced, archers would shoot arrows at them through tiny slits in the castle walls that allowed them to see out without letting enemies see in."

Not quite right. It was the foreigners (The Normans) who built the castles.

I didn't know that Britain only consisted of England, that Tesco sold 24 cans of Stella for £4, that you can get housing benefit if you have savings over 16,000 and that you can buy a pint for around a pound.
Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.

e0cs0r is correct - the article is staggeringly incorrect.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).

Also I've been to the doctors several times in the last few years (both for myself, with my wife and with our young son) and I don't remember ever having to wait for longer than about 15 minutes. Appointments are usually available the same day if my son is ill or it's something that can't wait. If it's something non vital then you are usually seen the following day. I appreciate anecdote does not = evidence but it's yet another time when an article does down our (free at the point of need) health service when it's pretty damned amazing!
