Cheers, PinzaC55. You're right. I'd sooner keep politics off here, too, they get enough yap yap yap elsewhere. :lol:

Too right, and hasn't it totally destroyed this country! All the businesses we used have that have all been sold down the river for a quick buck. Sod the future. Its annoying the the Germans have done the total opposite and seen the benefit of owning companies over the quick profits of selling them to whoever.
Its good to know where you stand. Saves making a fool of yourself later......
