Now, this is where it gets really funny. Anglo-saxon = german - angles were a germanic people, so were the saxons. And, the "british" royal family is german (house of saxe coburg-gotha, from memory, to do with the von basten Battenburgs) humor is USA spelling, the home of the Sarah Palin tea party (like the mad hatter's tea party, I believe - "I can shoot at russia from my kitchen window") And, in a couple of days time, we get to find whether the term "british" will just be a historical thing. Oh, and, with the reference to macintoshes - weren't their cases made of plastic? If so, does that make them "plastic macs"? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
