Be nice. Who do you think saved our butts at Kasserine Pass? And shepherd's pie isn't bad. You can get it here in the States, too, if you would like to try some. Fish and chips can be disgusting -- I've had some in Milton Keynes that would qualify -- but you don't have to buy it in Milton Keynes, and in fact you don't have to go to Milton Keynes at all. I've had some very nice fish and chips at the railway station in Redhill, and some decent fish and chips in Melrose, not far from Melrose Abbey. Not that anyplace in Melrose is far from the Abbey. And the current British royal family hasn't been German for 93 years, the House of Windsor having been proclaimed in 1917. My family hasn't been American for much longer than that. And as far as Germans go, where do you think Baron von Steuben came from, and who do you think whipped the Continentals into an army at Valley Forge? >> >> For conveying information, plain text rules.

I've started to think that the > senate just needs to go away. Some British people have been overheard whispering that they wish the House of Lords were more like the U.S. Senate. Louis

That summarises this thread in a nutshell. There's really nothing that I can add to it. Regards, Nick Maclaren.
