Love hats - never get to wear one though. And I thought Camilla looked great - one in the eye for clotheshorses like Diana.

But in a way who cares. What is interesting is this from Damama:

By the way, we noticed while in Italy, on the only English language stations (CNN International and BBC) the top news was about Michael Jackson and Terri Schiavo. I hate to think that's all the Europeans know about us.

Agree - it's sad if that's what non-Americans know about you. And it's even sadder if that's what the Beeb chose to air. I guess it's about perceived interest'; and money. Unless it is a really big story most news outlets take what's fed to thahotryt b

I guess it's about perceived interest; and money - budgets, etc. Unless it is a really big story most news outlets take what's fed to them - which sort of indicates that that's what the American news providers want the outside world to know.

What do you think?

I went to a Spanish wedding -Spanish bride, British groom - and the Spanish women were determined not to be upstaged by the British hat-wearers, so they all dashed out to get hats. Many of the British women left their hats at home as it isn't Spanish custom, and all had to dash round Madrid buying hats as they weren't going to get upstaged by the Spanish!

In the end, we all looked fab, and the Spanish LOVED wearing hats.

>What do you think?<

alice13, I think you're more interested in highjacking this lighthearted thread with another one of your tedious and sour anti-US rants. Stuff it, would you?
