Hi Steve, You didn't include the smileys (Graemlins) in the quote. Was I talking politics or history - probably a bit of both. Its a relatively small nation compared with the USA but if you witnessed the political system here in the UK first hand by sitting in the gallery in the House of Commons you would come away with a totally different idea about politics than exists in the USA. Additionally we are surrounded on two sides by Europe and the third side by a distant America. Why do we cling to this 'special relationship'? Perhaps its still a basic mistrust of Europe and may date back as far as 1066ad.
Lastly, on a lighter note - How many divisions of the French Army does it take to defend Paris? Dont ask me - its never been done yet.
Dave
