And people are pointing out that article is telling porkies. 'Tain't so.

It is truly amazing that bus companies are still repeating this EU myth, 9
years
after Neil Kinnock tried to put it to rest. Maybe nobody believed him. )

I'll forward that to the local paper and see if they take it up. BTW
Martin, I've emailed you with a request to translate something for me from
Dutch into English. It's a friend of Ray's who's died recently and while
we
can get most of it, there are a few vital words we'd liketo understand! If
you didn't get it, can you email me or tell me here? Many thanks.

Orange thought you were a spammer. I have answered your e-mail.

I've got it and thank you - flowers have been ordered. Myzen thought you
were a spammer, too but your email did get through! Thanks so much for
that.

No problem and thanks for giving us a laugh with the buses. )


Not my laugh though it's interesting the local paper pounced on it so
quickly *and* have found people apparently inconvenienced by whatever IS
going on!
