Default honourable nippon

many men in my locality (Royal Northumberland Fusileers) had been POW in the far east and one in particular would not have anything Japanese in his house!I did know the Late Capt.Eric Lomax and his book will make you cry(never mind the film)...some years ago whilst visiting the excellent little museum of the Royal Scots in Edinburgh there was aparty of Japanese School girls in front of me..they started to read the writing on some captured Japanese flags and then ran out of the building crying there heads off..have to say it was very moving...in the spirt of reconcilliation I was in a seafood resturant in Helmsdale,Sutherland,Scotland a couple of years sago and there was only 2 lobsters left..although I was first I let the young Japanese tourists have them and recieved a nice bow in return! the world changes millions are being spent by goverments on snooping on there own people..never forget whats happened in the past but try to move on! best regards to all from a sunny(rare) north-northumberland...malcolm
