Can we also make Benny Hill a national hero?
Benny Hill - now there's a name from the past!!!

Jolly good David. As I had told you at the picnic, my ancestor left Exeter, UK in the 1800's when it was discovered hatters (his profession) were going mad from mercury poisoning and became a woodworker in the USA. His immigration started a long line of wood afficinados in my family but now it appears her majesty is reclaiming the talents lost to other lands
I should point out that the Prime Mininster is Gordon BROWN. Being a member of the BROWN lineage I would hope that he believes in nepotism for I would thoroughly enjoy being minister of woodworking here in the colonies

Sound the alarm. The British are coming, the British are coming!!! One if by land, two if by sea. Load the cannons and get ready to fire the shot that will be heard 'round the world. Now where's my musket? Hmmmm, I'm getting a sense of deja vu.

Lots of laughs David.

No, I am thinking we need to discuss it at a lunch bunch. It is time to have another as it has been a long, long, time since the last one.

Makes an old Brit like me right at home, even though I have been here longer than there.

Benny Hill? What about Mr. Bean? Do we have to all drive those small cars too? What about direction in the round abouts? (Clockwise or Counter?).

That was very funny ... but being that I grew up in NH (state who still prints "Live Free or Die" in the Newspaper header), I think it would be appropriate to inform you that if you try import too much tea and send a tax agent ... well you know what happened in Boston.

And David, you didn't make it to our trip to the Flying Saucer did you? I'll let DaveO explain the beer.

Roger - great job on that picture!

Well, I can't take credit for the photochopping. Chris99z71 posted that in a thread in 2006

It pops up ever now and then.
