Sorry, Henry, made that mistake of thinking if it's in your state it's in your neck of the woods. That's like someone thinking I could pop out of the door and get some snaps from Moose Factory. North Americans do the same thing with us Brits, sometimes with surprising consequences. About a month ago I was sitting on a ski lift with my snowboard and this teenager next to me hears my accent and says 'are you from Britain'. So when she hears I am, she says 'Do you know Bruce Fogel'? And I am just about to explain in as patronising a way as I can that Britain has a population twice that of Canada and does she really think out of fifty million people it's very likely that -- and then I realise... ... yes, I DO know Bruce Fogel. And it's the same Bruce Fogel. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
