SWAP SHOP Europe and UK was SWAP SHOP UK

OK, nit picker - the REST of Europe - although, you know me - I`m not European - I`m British!!! LOL!

This reminds me of a famous headline in one of the British newspapers some years ago. "Fog in the Channel! Europe isolated!"

-- Jim Cripwell. From Canada. Land of the Key Bird. This creature of doom flies over the frozen tundra in winter, shrieking its dreaded call; "Key, Key, Key, Key rist but it's cold!!"

Nothing wrong with that, Jim!!! LOL!

I remember my friend Michele from Troyes always used to say to me "It`s NOT the English Channel - it`s the French Manche!!!" (Manche translating to "Sleeve").

I always used to say "So it might be, but it`s the English Arm in it!" That was always good for a good argument. She died very young, and I miss her. Our son was about 18 months old when she came to stay for a couple of months, and he was speaking more French than English by the time she went home! Lovely family - her parents came over sometimes too.

And I'm neither - I'm ENGLISH!!!

You know what they say "British by birth. English by the Grace of God" ;-)

Looking forward to the swap shop!

I`m only three quarters English - I`m a quarter Scottish! All GOW though! LOL!

Pat P

So that's the truth ? Hell, I always knew there was something wrong with you, now I know - only a quarter real blood, aah too bad, sorry about that!

What does that make me? A Quarter-breed? LOL! I always cheer for Scotland when it comes to the Rugby, anyway!

Never before has Jim been responsible for coffee on my keyboard. Damn. Dawne

But that one quarter probably gifted her with the GOW gene. Dawne

Just imagine if I was the whole 100% LOL! I might be just a tad stroppy then! As it is, I`m all sweetness and light, of course!

Of course. (listening for resounding chorus of "indeed." " yup." "yes indeedelly doo" and other expressions of agreement.) (.....come on, gang. After me....) Dawne

I surely think so! Dawne my bridge partner and I decided on the spur of the moment that we are going to hop in the car in July and go to Vancouver. You know we are going to Regina lol When we listed off our 'must go' places, that was one of mine!
