I'm sure happy there was no Royal Dutch Chips & Potato-Related Processed Food Products monopoly, that day! Any idiot can make good chips. I bet you loved FEBO, and krokets washed down with a bottle of Heineken. I don't know what the **** you're talking about, American in Amsterdam favourite diet,. but, maybe your average Dutch idiot can make good chips? Every country has their specialty. Neither of us are Dutch, neither of us has problems making good chips. In Germany, I like the schnitzel. with noodles or is that only in Salzburg? Pommes or, if it's good, Spätzle. I've become rather picky about Spätzle since I learned how to make my own 8-) Pommes is French for apples how could a Francophile like you make such a silly mistake :-) Are you still going to visit Stonehenge this year? I look forward to your report You know I meant pomfrits and you also know i'm not a francophile 8-) -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist with iPad |

UK Constitution Postage

You mean like the democracy that voted in people's representatives that introduced privatization in the postal system? And who says 51% of the people who vote get to decide what the other 49% have to do? That's tyranny. But maybe that's an American perspective. I've heard that the UK does not have a written Constitution, that establishes the kind principles of governance for any later laws. is that true? I'd be interested to know your alternative form of government? "Many forms of Gov*ern*ment have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pre*tends that democ*racy is per*fect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democ*racy is the worst form of Gov*ern*ment except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time". (Quote by W.S.Churchill in Parliament) |

Not road kill, please! 8-) -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist with iPad |

(Quote by W.S.Churchill in Parliament) A democracy where people aren't elected on a first past the post basis using arbitrary election areas, some sort of PR, in a country where the population is legally obliged to vote Exactly! This is why the authors of the US Constitution did not make the new nation a Democracy. They knew rule by the Demos meant mob rule. That is why they made the USA a Republic. Not doubt this was easier with a clean slate versus centuries of "common law", thus my comment, there is no... originating set of specifications for government responsibility or explicit limits on its power, as in the USA. So with the UK, is at least the collection of restrictions on the monarchy codified as something to point to? That would be a start.
