Good point about the "England's Rose" thing, though. "Britain's Rose" would have fit, and would have been at least a *bit* more appropriate.
Princess Bendy Nose was English, whether or not she was Princess of Wales. The notion of the UK being England, or vice versa, has nothing to do with the self-perception of the English. It's just plain old fashioned ignorance. Most people say "London" for "England"for "Great Britain" for "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and so on and so on and so on and so on. And they think the English are a bunch of tossers. Paul, couldn't you arrange for Hugh the Bog Fister to make some kind of declaration on this subject? Peter PS: Captain Fantastic and the Dirt Brown Cowboy is all right in a miserable Saturday afternoon kind of way, but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road isn't really up to much I!M!H!O! I bought them both after the last outburst of anti-Elton feeling on the list and the result is a one-all draw. PPS: I would like to see the High Llamas, I think they're good. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
