Oh, bugger.

There's always something missed; I note, although its a very tiny sample, that perhaps the respondents like me, Pete and Richard F are of the immediate post-war generation. We'd have been brought up on quite different values and had virtually pre-war semi severe schooling and discipline, fine.

Now I am mightily encouraged that Dougie, who I am thinking is of the next generation at least, has the nous and CDF to see through the official hype and smokescreen so coming to a considered decision without being led like sheep.

Mightily encouraging it is and perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel isn't the oncoming train I fear.

We could be sowing the seeds to reap the wirlwind, but I wont be here then, people like my girly-fuzz daughter will have the hassle.

Oh where's Enoch Powell when you need him?
