Poor in culture, rich in wealth
Amen to that!
Ok so they helped us out in the 1st and 2nd World Wars (they were late on both occations).
Our European cousins have their faults esp. this EURO currency malarky but a single market in itself is no bad thing. There is probably more Airtravel in Europe as a result of it.
Not for or against EU really, it just *isses me off that Captain Tony and his cronies keep throwing money at it. Don't they realise that all the EU's politicians want us in it to prop the dam thing up. (4th largest economy and all that)
We could join the North America free trade orgaisation if we wanted to, but no doubt we'd be *hat on just the same by those cigar chomping chaps with their "Gee. back in the States ....blah blah blah" attitude. I noticed in the paper this weekend that Mexico and Canada arn't too keen on being trod on at present!
