Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

does anyone give a toss as to what your daughters and grand daughter are now doing, though we know that you bring that subject up at any opportunity
as for me, i was too young even for conscription, but during the war my father served in the merchant navy and my mother's brother in a tank regiment in north africa, not that any of that is particularly interesting or relevant

You couldn't make it up if you tried...
They STILL don't get it: MPs forced out in 2010 over expenses including a whirlpool bath, mirrors and carbon monoxide detector will stand for re-election in 2015
Seven former Labour MPs and two ex-Lib Dem members will stand again
This was despite having to step down over MPs expense scandal in 2010
Includes members caught claiming after flipping their main home address
All were entitled to pay-offs worth thousands of pounds when they left the Commons

Cynic.
Not being critical, and migration is a problem, but worthwhile a reflection!

Nicholas Winton[edit]
Main article: Nicholas Winton
Before Christmas 1938, a 29-year-old British stockbroker of German-Jewish origin named Nicholas Winton planned to fly to Switzerland for a ski vacation when he decided to travel to Prague instead to help a friend who was involved in Jewish refugee work.[22] Thereafter, he established an organisation to aid Jewish children from Czechoslovakia separated from their families by the Nazis, setting up an office at a dining room table in his hotel in Wenceslas Square.[23]
He ultimately found homes for 669 children.[24] Winton's mother also worked with him to place the children in homes, and later hostels, with a team of sponsors from groups like Maidenhead Rotary Club and Rugby Refugee Committee.[18][25] Throughout the summer, he placed advertisements seeking British families to take them in. The last group, which left Prague on 3 September 1939, was sent back because the Nazis had invaded Poland – the start of the Second World War.[18]
Although there was a £50 deposit to send them back when the little skirmish was over:

I have respect for Winton, but little or none for the likes of the "tinker" or much of the yobs who identify with UKIP or the R.W Euro-skeptics.
