I recently returned from three weeks in Great Britain, ranging from southern England to the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and to southern and central Wales. Like on my previous three trips there, I was treated very well by some of the nicest people I know and have met. I, my wife, and son were taken in as house guests by two very good friends in different parts of the country. I'm sure that if I'd displayed the sort of attitude toward the British that Reg constantly does toward Americans, I would have had an entirely different experience. But I'd rather concentrate on what good people have in common. And there are a lot of good people in all countries. As well as a few grumps, of course. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |

Roy, I have to second your opinion. The last time the wife and I were in
Europe, we were standing in the airport in Frankfurt heading to Italy, we both at the same time said "Let's go back to England". We like to stay at the Bull in Gerrard's Cross and find the people are wonderful. I was readily accepted into the Denham flying club and enjoyed touring England via private plane. The huge chalk carvings south of London can only be appreciated from the air. I picture Reg as an old socialist that time has passed by, and he has since decided to become a professional curmudgeon. He does provide humor from time to time. We must always remember - Everyone has a purpose in life, even if it is only as a bad example -. I think of him every time I see the brother-in-law on "Keeping Up Appearances" on the BBC. "Roy Lewallen" wrote in message ...

Danny, K6MHE Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) is one of the characters in one of Harry Turtledove's excellent "alternate history" books. In the story, Clemens is living in San Francisco and has a dog named after the mayor, whom he detests. After a particularly frustrating meeting with the mayor, Clemens returns home and apologizes to the dog -- "When I named you," he says, "I thought I was insulting the mayor. But it turns out that I was insulting you." Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
