    Please don't apologise, no Brummies would take any notice anyway, ever since Edward I showed the way, they keep the Welsh penned in. Your problem is you're a Catholic in the land of the Gaelic Druid.

    And England owns Scotland anyway, - you went bust trying to invade America, and we bought Scotland to pay off the debts

    LOL!

    I vaguely remember BBC 1 closing down every night, but that was when I was quite young.

    What a nightmare! I have no time for the Royal family whatsoever. They're a waste of space in modern society, especially the titled chinless wonders who get millions of pounds for doing f*ck all

    Sorry, Mick, old chap, if you're reading this!
