Brooklyn Bridge
No, we are not the 51st State of the USA and never have been considered that..... Let me put a hypothetical question to you. In the most unlikely event that any country decided to attack the UK be it ground forces or misisles would you want the US to support us or not? Just give that a little thought.
I agree with with you Paul. Thanks for the Flag.
Nobody did not bother that's the problem ! My wife's family on her Mother's side all died in the camps.... Read it and very true Huw, it is surprising what people didn't know.
Just a little about American Politics.

Perhaps next year would have a little more finesse. I congratulate all the youngsters they did a great job and by the time they had got to the Strand ...
With the placement of this new bench in front of the Co-op is an accident waiting to happen. I have witnessed a number of vehicles trying to make a left for the Exeter road through heavy traffic.

Also where this is placed at the end of the loading bay it would only would take ...
