+ Topical Joke
One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers "what it means to be British?". Some of the emails are hilarious but this is one from a chap in Switzerland ... "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most Brit sh thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign ". He has a point.. -------------------- This person is best talked to with the help of a computer..
