I'm guessing paullings, the original poster, lives down in The Shire… oh, I see he's actually from Newcastle.
Same thing though, almost… there has been little settlement up in that, red-neck of the woods, by the people from other countries who have made our society so rich, diverse and multi-cultural; not even after WW II.
paullings better be a little bit careful with regard to the flags for the same reasons as Frasier; see Les Dansonne's post above.
