Interesting expression, worked her little touche off, not one I'm familiar with (possibly as well, given the meaning). But that's neither here northere. Try googling Sally Bercow (or Sally Bare Cow as one of the papers called her today), who is the wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons, common being the appropriate word here. There is very little in the papers over here about who is who in Oz, and apart from dredging up in my memory the bit about Julie coming from Barry, I know very little about her (but I do remember reading about her roots).

Been years since I was last in Barry, about 51 to be precise. Lord, what a terrible thought, I was probably in Barry the year BB was born as I've been going there since I was 9 or 10, which would be 1954/5. There was a small funfair there, and lovely white sand, and sometimes we would go there on a speial train that was full of day trippers and sometimes it would be a coach, and even sometimes it wouldn't be Barry but Porthcawl, which I always preferred, and even less there than at Barry. Probably why I don't much care for busy seaside places. Not that that has anything to do with Oz politics. I hope everything has settled down now and the floods receding and people starting to get their lives together a little.
