Last night, someone in another place (America) commented that he was under
the impression that Britain doesn't see temperatures above 70 degrees,
even
during the height of summer. NOTHING surprises me about American's views
of
anything outside of America unless they've been outside of America. Then
they see the light:-)

I'm not surprised. I was at a US Superbike race a few years back and one of
the commentators was English. It was raining (as it seems to do every year
in New Hampshire) and the English commentator was jokingly apologising for
bringing the weather with him. That's bloody typical I thought. When I
brought a friend over for the World Superbike at Donington he was shocked to
experience California like sun. We don't do our climate any favours. I
flew today (report later) and it was bright, sunny, calm wind. A perfect
day. (Oh, and I gave up going to New Hamshire for the racing (before I moved
back to the UK), it rained 3 years on the trot and they wouldn't race in
conditions the British series would take in its stride.)

Actually, Tony Robinson's on the box right now doing a "Da Vinci Code"
destruction:-)

Yeah, I saw that a couple of months ago. I'm completely blaise (sp?) about
Dan Brown's book. I read all the stuff he plagerised for his book years ago,
and also the stuff disproving and debunking a lot of the theories his book
relies on. I wont be watching he movie!
