We're all immigrants, with the possible exception of the Celts :)

 

AND If we were able to trace our ancestors back far enough, we're all African!!!

Not only that but we are all the one race and it is Homo sapiens sapiens. The colour of ones skin is totally arbitrary and counts for zilch!

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

But unfortunately, that one race seems to be hard-wired to seek out, distrust, dislike and generally persecute "difference", wherever we find it. If this country was populated by nobody but "pure-bred Englishmen" (in the unlikely event of anyone being able to prove such a thing), there would still be as much prejudice, although the targets would be different ones.

 

I'm reminded of the charabanc outing in Laurie Lee's "Cider with Rosie", where, once the passengers are a few miles from home, the different appearence of the haycocks in the fields provokes howls of laughter and hoots of derision...

There's an old Yorkshire saying that seems to sum it up Davy, "All folk are queer except me and thee, and I'm none too sure about thee" :D

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John
