Ralph, You were doing so well and then you spoilt it all with your last sentence. :lol: Ned |
| Divided he ad:
But it's true Ned... ? Just one of those things, be it genereditary (yer it's a word..... Well it is now!) or not. Bagpipes give me goose bumps and make me want to smack somebody :wack: :wack: And no.... Not the piper! :lol: Ralph. |
| John Hill:
That chap talking on the video mentioned the 'Commonwealth Realm', he did not name all the countries of the Commonwealth which is now known as the "Commonwealth of Nations" and includes countries such as India and Pakistan. |
| AndyB:
That is what he missed but I didn't want to make too much of it. Actually, there are more countries in the Commonwealth now than were part of the Empire. It has become an alternative forum for smaller 'third world' (that is an anachronism these days as they are often more industrialised than we are!) to be heard rather than the UN where they tend to be ignored.

:beer: Ralph, no wonder I am confused, my Father was born in Hampshire with french and English descendents, my Mother was born in Durham her descendants where Scots and Irish, I was born in West Sussex. My Wife was born in Surrey with parents descendants from London France, my son was born in Hampshire so confusion reins in this house hold. :doh: :scratch: :palm: JD |
