Glad to see you're a born again poster Madddix and I look forward to many light hearted exchanges with you. Who knows? We might get to like each other again.

On a more serious vein SCO (how could it get any more ridiculous than the latest tete a tete avec Maddix?), I think it depends on how long a person has been over here. I imigrated to Canada in '69, so I've been here now 46 years. I am Canadian. If you'd have asked me during the first 5 years I was here what my nationality was I'd have said British. But England is like a foreign country to me now. When I go home to Sheff, it's changed so much, especially the downtown. I can't identify with it. And walking around town, you're just as likely to hear a cockney or a Scottish accent as a Sheffield one. Cheesecakes and brownies have replaced Sally Lunns and Eccles cakes. Pork pies are hard to find and fish and chips , at least what I had, were not good at all. I had to go to Aberdeen to find good ones. So, in another 2r55778 years time you may find yourself rooting for the US of A - only the Brits call it "America."
