it's a weird country this.... the germans don't like the french, the french don't like the italians.. and the italians don't like anyone.

( mrs. and I had a couple of days away at a mountain resort just recently ... just above the second "e" in Lake Geneva on that map... maybe 15 miles from the french speaking area and not a soul spoke french )

this is my very first post ( please hold your applause ) and the last forum I belonged to pretty much insisted that newbies posted an "introduction" post or face the wrath of old timers.

so here I am.

thats it. ( for now )

No intro thread required.

The regulars savage the newbies on general principles around here.

We're a much more mature forum.

Oldest on the internet, actually.

We're quite welcoming, just so long as you kids stay offa my lawn.

So what you're saying is that it's kind of a microcosm of the world at large.

Before the crash we would have been happy with 250- 260 but now that is a fair price for that market

For the rest of you---- thanks for the welcomes !!

*grins* no, I am not a Canuck. That was just a play on the way my name sounds.

I'm a Lancashire lass, transplanted across the Pennines to Yorkshire. About a 20 minute drive from Huddersfield as it goes.

Where did you grow up in the states? What are you doing for a living in Swissland?

If and when you do piss someone off here, I will probably burst out into song. It's practically required.
