One of the Dutch guys in my husband's office recently sent this around:

One of the British national daily
newspapers is asking readers "what it means to be British?" Some of the
emails are hilarious but this is one from a chap in Switzerland...

"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV actually made in China.

And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign."

The military coup in Chile took place on September 11, 1973.
Interesting, eh?

On or about Sept 11, 1970 Black September blew up 3 hijacked airliners.

The conspiracy deepens.
