I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that I agree with you, Dennis.
We've lost too many of our good old British values, like imperial measurements. They'll be expecting us to drive on the right (i.e. wrong) side of the road next! _________________ Anita

I was waiting for some one to come a long with the "we invented time" argument. |
I'm not that bright, sorry. It just seems wrong to me that in England we should adopt Swiss time. Especially when it was us who invented the Rolex. _________________ Dennis

Speak for yourself Anita. I haven't lost my good old British values - when I put a new piece of felt on my shed roof on Sunday, I measured the length to cut off the roll in feet and inches, then hammered the galvanised nails in with a 10 ounce hammer. And I'm still 5ft 10 inches tall (but ever so slightly shrinking with more washes). And when I saw the missing piece out the bedroom window on Sunday morning (or more accurately didn't see it), I said dammit, not sacre bleu or mein Gott. _________________ Dennis
