England Whitewash Australia

[naomi24]

I know nothing about sport but among the headlines on tonight's BBC News was something about football and nothing about rugby - and my incensed husband said this news should have taken pride of place - so I'm mentioning it.

Congratulations, it seems, would appear to be in order. Well done England!!

[ladybirder]

Australia was a continent when I was at school. Have things changed then?

[ToraToraTora]

Australia is part of Australasia.

[naomi24]

Tell that to the Aussies. They said it - not me.
