Thank you Richard, most gracious,
I'll lower the level of the debate slightly with something else that just sprang to mind.
We all know the Brits old lament about our American cousins during the war which went
“Over sexed, over paid and over here"
Well how about this for a 21C EU equilant
"Over taxed, over stressed and over crowded"
I thought of that just now and it made me grimace through the tears.
I must sign off now or the EU political correctness police will have a tap on my modem. I will be condemned to eating Muesli and driving sensible Euro greeny cars that do 80 miles to the gallon and look like roller skates.
I’m off down the pub in my gas gobbling pick up !!!
Toodal Pip !
Pete
