Divided Loyalties.

Geriaviator,

Your #4925 refers: gives me an opportunity to retell a tale I think I may have told long ago. (From "Readers Digest", IIRC).

On the ferry Holyhead/Dublin one wartime evening, an American reporter is enjoying a last cigarette; he is joined at the taffrail by an athletic young man in sports jacket and flannels. The newcomer's accent shows that he is going home. The following dialogue ensues:

"Why don't you people allow the British the use of your Channel Ports ?" ......"We hate the British"...... "But do you want Hitler to win this war ?" . ...."Of course not !"......"So what are you doing about it ?"......."I fly a Hurricane !"

Sort that one out !

Happy New Year to you all, Danny.
