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.

A typical USA aggresive attitude towards foreigners. ;o)


I hope none of the readers of this newsgroup are tempted to consider
Reg's attitude or abrasiveness as typical of his countrymen. 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.
