And are doing to this day! Go on let it be on my head. I'm intrigued, Slobodan. What have we (British) done (and continue to do) in Eastern Europe that's got you so upset? I've always thought Eastern Europe was one of the few parts of the world that has historically been off the British radar. I suspect I'm missing something obvious but only a few things come to mind that might be relevant. The Crimean War (do you also not buy French goods?). The British involvement in repatriating 'Cossacks' and other anti-Communists back to the Soviet Union in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War and, much more recently, the bombing of Serbia as part of NATO. Going rather further back I think English forces may also have taken part (along with other 'Christian' mercenaries) in a swathe of raping/pillaging across Eastern Europe as they returned from the Crusades. Please let us know what you allude to in your recent posts. If it causes the list to 'kick-off' please feel free to blame me for starting it. Ian Watts.
