Hate to do this Doug, BUT!!!! Two of the Lazy Jacks aren't English [and it is not just a question of semantics] My friend, Mr. Richard Hale, is Irish, of the Northern variety [Scotch/Irish was, I believe, the correct term 140+ years ago] I am Welsh, the nation from whom Jeff. Davis, Sterling Price, Micah Jenkins, Shanks Evans, Catesby ap Roger Jones and a host of other distinguished Southern gentlemen claimed proud descent. To call Richard and myself "English" is akin to calling your Alabama chums "Yankees", a term to which they they would justly object. All that being said, we're looking forward hugely to meeting up again. Counting the days!!!
All the best,
Patrick
