That site is quite entertaining - follow those links as well and you may find where I pick my handle from (hint - look in the location specific pages) <br /> <br />Ok - back to the off topic subject for a minute. Many of our overseas friends seem to think that I am English. This is because I have an English accent. Yeah. They also seem to think that London=England and that England=United Kingdom. My nationality is British reflecting the fact that though I was born in England, I have Scots Ancestry and one set of parents live in Wales. And if you want to take it to extremes I live in Cornwall. The Cornish (native ones) dont regard themselves as "English" for a variety of reasons which stretch back to Gildas and his ranting and the invasion of the English/Jutes/various others from about the year 400AD on onwards. <br /> <br />Recommended reading for this subject = Anglo Saxon England (Oxford History of England series) by Sir Frank Stenton. Where incidentally you can find out about King Arthur as well (mentioned in one epic Welsh poem - the Goddin)
