Please indulge me! Let me tell you a little story.

A few years ago the lovely Mrs B48N and I thought we would go and live in France. 'What' said No1 son, who incidentally lived in France for a year while doing the Test Pilot Course as an RAF pilot on exchange with the Frogs,'Dad will never put up with the French and the way they do things!'.

This made me think, so I went there with a changed open outlook on life. After all,if for instance, I said to a restauranteur 'Why do you serve cheese before dessert? Everyone knows the cheese course comes last and is served with a fine glass of port!'. He would have said 'Monsieur,If you do not like the way we do things in France,may I suggest you go back to your own country'.

In other words, 'When in Rome do as the Romans do!'.

May I respectfully suggest that if you do not like the way we do things in the UK, you stay away. The UK GA fraternity is capable of fighting their corner without your help!
