... you used to be proud of your nationality?

Sorry Angel - there's a lot more to it than owning an Aston!

Ok and here is the real reason for my inane posting.

The Last Tommy!

May he RIP.

That special composition for Harry Patch is so moving and a beautiful piece of music yet it has had so little air time - I have only heard it twice on the radio, on the Today Programme on R4 who commissioned it and then on the PM programme the same day in the evening.

We must NEVER EVER forget the sacrifice that was made by the soldiers and airmen from both sides who gave up their lives in the first war, the war to end all wars remember, in the horror and filth of the trenches of the Somme and Paschendale in the vain hope that WE might live in peace. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Aye its not had much airtime at all. I know The Today Programme did a great interview with him not so long ago and that inspired Radiohead to write a tribute song to him a week before he passed away.

I bought it at the weekend - all money goes to the Royal British Legion. Its not a great song but its a good cause.

You're absolutely correct of course. Our entire GDP is almost solely reliant on the handful of prestige cars we export to countries bought into the Euro as a means of protecting their macroeconomy.

No offence taken

Wozz, Tim,

people in this country have very short memories.

Could be summarised in one word - Respect. There isn't any here in this country any more, thanks to the Liberal Minded F***wits.

Most people in this country haven't got a days work in them, let alone the backbone and fortitude to go through the horrors the likes of Harry Patch experienced, without complaining.

And don't start me on unfettered immigration

Agreed! WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award
