General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Here we go again,trotting out that sentimental diatribe,it's Keno's fault,vying for the president of the Stirrers Club. Even in his seemingly contrite posting he is extracting the urine .All we ex-pats have a soft spot for our place of origin,but when we contribute on this site it's not because we are homesick,yearning for our birthplace,it's that we like to keep in touch with folks who have shared memories.
Now when you talk of the legacy of the English in Africa,Asia and even Australia I think you mean British.This how I view it:the English were the navigators and supervisors,the Scots were the engineers,the Irish provided the labour and the Welsh made up the numbers,waxing lyrical about home.
