Just to reply to you Down in 3....
The reason I say that there are plenty of Us guys in the UK is just that I hear them on the radio flying with UK companies.

The grass is very green here you know, but that is just because it rains a lot!!!
Anyway thanks for the input, nobody else seems to have any opinions
