I had a friend with whom I did business from High Wycomb (sp?, doesn't look right). He hated to travel. I asked him why since it seemed to me that traveling was part of being British and in the grand tradition of the empire.
He smiled, turned off his hearing aid, and said, "That was a different class".
I guess there are times when we both don't understand what's going on on the other side of the pond.

It is High Wycombe.
I live about 10 miles away, in Reading. I think it was the Scots who formed the empire really. They did it to get away from the English. Now the Scottish Empire encompasses London.
