Being a sad sort of chap, I've just re-read my post above. Whilst it was posted as an extra thought to the previous items, it could be construed as somewhat nationalistic/racist. Please do not take it as such.
I do get fed up with people making judgements on things of which they have limited knowledge, ie West Coast.
Sorry, but I didn't want any relative of Bomber Command casualties feeling that they had been demeaned by a careless post.
