    I was concieved on Skye,both parents part Scots, born in Cheltenham England,spent the first seven years of my life in Scotland being looked after by my grandfather whilst my parents were away during WW2,went to school in England until I was 18,went to Sandhurst,served in an English regiment,retired, went to the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester England, Took over my father's English farms and inherited my grandfather's patch in Scotland where I live for most of the time now. So, no US connection there.

    I hope you don't mind me saying that some,a small minority, give the impression that as they are American they can do what they like when they like and to the devil with anyone else and that was the point I was trying to make.I know that most of you are not in the least like that and I am proud to say that I have many American friends. Every country,including the UK,has an arrogant and ignorant part of the population,but it never hurts to remind ourselves of that fact from time to time, even if it "treads on a few toes" whilst saying it.

    All the very best,
    Jock.
