I lived in Cunnamulla many moons ago (SW Qld) where the locala paper came out weekely and was nicknamed "The 3-minute silence" because it wasd delivered to the local RSL first on Wednesday afternoon at 6.00 p.m. where all assembled read in from cover to cover in 3 minutes.

But to the point of this thread, the english teacher at the locala school used to set the children the task for homework, of correcting the spelling and grammar in the latest edition of the 3-Minute Silence. It was that bad.
