Two nations divided by a common language." > Said by...? - ------------------------------- I always thought it was Benjamin Disraeli complaining about the tremendous difference between the UK upper class accent (I say old chap, be a chum and lift your foot) to the rough working class (If ye don't move your big boot ye'll git a bunch o' fives up yer conk) sort of thing. "England, one country divided by a common language". No, that doesn't look right. In my minds eye the qoute was a few lines longer. Can't remember. Sorry. Send it anyway. Alan
