Government types are just compelled to fool with time.

Bluesdave, I missed something back there. What was your beef with wolf's and/or wikipedia's version of the labelling of dates?

all governments are warmongers.

there is no such thing as "in the public interest" : politicians pursue their own agendas.

the national health service in the UK is suffering due to Thatcher bringing in the Nuclear War Strategist from the cold war (forget his name) to overhaul the service and set targets and performance criteria etc. to be achieved by any means.

the colour of skin doesnt matter to me ; the person and their culture does.

kids should be seen and not heard.

I was wrong. I have flicked through several of my books on Ancient Egypt, and they all place the AD before the year. My apologies to Wolf.

My interest in Ancient Egypt really decreases after the end of the New Kingdom, so I am used to reading BC and BCE, not that this gives me any excuse.

I thought that Wolf was saying that the Wikipedia said that both BCE, and CE were after 1 AD, but now that I have re-read her post I realise that she is talking about the placement of the letters AD and BC, relative to the date.

BTW, I don't recall seeing AD placed before the date. As far as I recall it is always after the date, just like BC, so you would say 2007 AD. Note that I am *not* an historian, I just have an interest in history, so I could be wrong. I have a heap of history books. I will have a look through some of them later in the day.
