      Used to be Telegraph, but that has turned to ratsh*t in last couple of years since Barclay brothers sacked most of their journalists. I don't read papers any more.

              Never been on holiday in the UK. Don't see the point.
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    Thank you ! I do try my best to join in the jolly japes.

                    By the way, is there an emoticon to show that you acknowledge a spelling mistake, but for fear of being a pedant or hurting the other poster's feelings, you don't want to use the emoticon ?

                    It's not a case of ignoring the spelling mistake, in case you might appear to be ignorant or dismissive of it, but on the other hand, you don't want to make an issue of it either ?

                    ps...your Avatar is quite erotic.
