Hi Lil,

Good to see you around again. Hope all's going well for you in Auckland and you're enjoying your new life.

We can get the daily UK papers here (at an exhorbitant price), but I take it that's what you mean when you mention the 'international versions'? On the few occasions we've bought one, I can't say I've noticed any difference, but then I was never a newspaper buff and probably wouldn't know any better.

Is there no one you've left behind in the UK who would be prepared to send the papers to you? Of course, they would be very out of date by the time they reached you, but perhaps that doesn't matter to you. If you'd organised a redirection of mail before leaving the UK, you could have ordered the papers to your old home address whereupon the mail redirection would have forwarded them on to you in NZ. I tried to see if the papers themselves do mail paper deliveries and they do, but only in the UK. I guess they rely on you reading them online in these days of high technology.
