    Being a positive sort of person, and rather than moaning about everything, I thought for this Friday why not tell each other which we think, from our own perspective, are the best in the world:

    TV Channel
    News Channel
    Newspaper
    Winter Sport
    Summer Sport
    Mobile Phone
    Mobile Phone Operator
    Suitcase
    Airline (got to have a travel element here)
    Airport

    My answers are:
    ITV (only they show Coronation Street)
    Sky News
    Financial Times
    Cricket
    Rugby
    Samsung
    Vodaphone (and their worldwide subsidiaries)
    Samsonite
    Swiss
    Zurich

    Oh, and lets add Forum, which has to be BT of course 😉

    Greetings LP from a balmy Sydney.

    Best TV Channel: BBC 4 followed by the Discovery Channel
    Best News Channel: Channel 4 News
    Best Newspaper: By a country mile, the Financial Times – possibly followed by the Grauniad when it is not in whining mode.
    Winter sport: off-piste skiing/ski touring (for me) and rugby union (to watch)
    Summer sport: Cricket (it’s an entire way of life, not just a sport) or field hockey
    Mobile phone operator: Just about anyone (?) but TalkTalk or Vodafone
    Mobile phone: Apple iPhone 6Plus (just got a brand new one – fantastic)
    Suitcase: err, I do big and bulky so a Berghaus Mule80. Otherwise anything that protects the contents and can tolerate being abused and beaten up by airport luggage transfer and delivery systems.
    Favourite Airline: Cathay Pacific in “J”
    Airport: HKG takes some beating but I do actually rather like LHR T5
