[CliveV]

Not something we celebrate this side of the pond but an American colleague sent us this which is worth looking at:-

There is a monument in Boston, Lincolnshire which marks the spot where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the New?? World. I am sure some wag would scrawl underneath: 'There go they who know not what they do'.

Talking of our transatlantic cousins?

Where the White Man went Wrong!

An old Indian Chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a

ceremonial pipe and eyeing up two U. S. Government officials sent to interview him. "Chief Two Eagles" asked one Official, "You have observed the white man for over 100 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."The Chief nodded in agreement. The Official continued, "Considering all these events where did the white man go wrong?"

The Chief stared at the Government Officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it." "No taxes." "No debt." "Plenty buffalo." "Plenty beaver.""Women did all the work." "Medicine man free." "Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing." "All night making love." Then the Chief leaned back and smiled, "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
