My uncle (her brother) is named William Benjemin Dover.  In his college days at Nebraska, you can imagine the hazing he got..."Ben Dover"....

LOL - the two Scottish... er... friends - Ben Dover and Phil McCafferty!

And... I can tell you this, Ripper. There's a pub in my home town of Leicester called the Dover Castle which is apparently the oldest gay pub in the country. Read about it here. I bet Gatso and Nexx know about it - not because they bat for the other side, but because they're from the Leicester area too.

Well, if they'd been gay in 1200, I doubt my Mum would be here! ;)

Do Americans in Britan really have trouble keeping on the left side of the road and tend to run over bicyclist?  When I watched the Griswold's on TV, those were things they had trouble with along with roundabouts.  Btw, did they get Stonehinge put back ok?

Well, think about it, we live in undoubtedly the best country on planet earth. People die to get in! Why would we WANT to go anywhere else? :)  Hell, Beet even had to start a thread because of his inferiority complex to America! :rofl

There is alot of history, as I said before, to be had in Old England.  Its also a grim reminder of what we could have been, had old George Washington not organized a militia. :)

3% of our population eh? That's a pretty good tourism rate.
