They were ex-battery hens actually and supposedly no longer capable of laying eggs. Once they'd got used to living outside and pecking around like they're supposed to do, lo and behold they started laying again. Graham

That would be a Britsh-Leyland product, no? Rover was an independent upmarket car maker that got forced into a shotgun marriage with BMC ( Austin-Morris and associated brands including MG, Healey, Triumph, Vanden Plas, Standard, Riley, Wolseley ). Jaguar got forced in too but luckily escaped later ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_(car) They made some nice cars. I once had one of these. It was very advanced for its time and even to this day possibly the quitest car I've ever driven and unquestionably had the best suspension. Not bad for a car that first appeared in 1963. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_P6 Graham

That sounds to me like you don't know what you're talking about so you just use a throwaway insult in response instead. Look for example at the 70's hijacking of airliners, for example.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson's_Field_hijackings Graham

Malaysia has a long history of low-level conflict between various ethnic groups. The Chinese there aren't Muslim so it's easy for you to attribute it to religion instead. In fact its history lies in the higher level of wealth and influence that the Chinese have typically had. Graham |
