Hi Leslie -- Thank you for your link. I am also of this country and I do not feel divided and my nerves are not raw nor my temper short nor are those of many with whom I associate. I did very much appreciate the humor contained in the paper and had to sit on myself not to retort (humourously of course) to the comments contained therein (thank you Tiny and Jav for your short but succinct responses). I have passed your paper on to a few others who also got a chuckle. I hope you continue to post in our forum on this and many of our other threads as poor Cliff is almost singlehanded representing your small isle. And, I also liked seeing the "minor" differences between our 2 cultures laid out so funnily which was the first flag that went up when I read this.
