Does anyone from england read this newsgroup?

Yes

Yes but I'm in Canada now:-p

Almost on a daily basis! We have an active and very good club here in Oxford which I belong to. Our patron is Gary Rance, who is probably the best skew master in the UK. Maybe you have heard of him over in the US.

Keep those edges sharp and the shavings flowing.

Charlie

Yep, Chris & Rosemary here in good old Milton Keynes. How can we help?

Yes I read it daily and even contribute occasionally.

Tom (Nottingham)

Yes, and we're considering dumping their tea in the harbor again ;-]

mac

Please remove splinters before emailing

Yes. More of a lurker than contributor.

BillR Berkshire

Please do, tea is dreadful stuff :-)

Who cares? There are some here in Scotland who do...

Cringe, cringe, perhaps I should have said the UK!

Will you forgive me, please!(:-)

Don't worry about it - apologies all mine - I just couldn't resist that. LOL.

I used to work with American tourists, and I was quite used to questions like "What part of England is Scotland in?". I was often tempted to direct them to the nearest pub for an answer! But the southern English could be as bad - many of them thought Scotland started at Yorkshire.

My best ever was a very charming American lady, who asked how she could get to see around a local country mansion. I explained it was a private residence and not open to tourists. She thought for a moment and very seriously asked, "Is that allowed?"

Hé John that's probably the same Americans that come across the Canadian border with the ski's strapped to the top of their urban assault vehicles in July, and ask how much farther before they can go skiing ;-))))))))))

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo

And anywhere north of Watford is "the North" where barbarians live :-)

Stuart

Of course, I have been reading it for years, not taking an active part, but reading yes!
