Witness how they decided not to adopt the Euro. I don't know what continent they want to belong to, and I suppose it's up to them. To you, Malcolm, from Canada, and to the chap who complained about the British problems (was it skodapilot?), I say I'm sorry. It sounds like things are a lot worse than they could be. On the other hand, they're still better in some respects than they are in my country. -- Tom Reingold Noo Joizy
