My Mother's family came here to the US from Balcom England in the early 1700's, fought in the Revolutionary war (New York State Regimen) Against the British, we all know how that ended up.
They also fought in the Civil war against ourselves, Yankees. My Father's family came in the early 1900's from Keevil England (there is a RAF base there). Does this make me British?? Dave


How could it possibly??? Laughing But never mind, being British is of little to no consequence, unless you're about to be shot by a (misguided) British soldier, I suppose.

I was stationed at Brize Norton AB just outside Oxford for about 4 months back in the late 50's and met a few of the Teddy Boys that got their ass's kicked. They found out us Yanks would not back down.

Fucking place, I'd be quite happy living most other places, maybe with the 'Lewis's up in the dessert, or even South Gate, i'm not fussy Twisted Evil
