    Thanks Stefan - you seem to have broad cosmopolitan views.

    Never been up there during my time in Britain, but I know a great supporter of Sunderland Football Club

    In my job, I was so lucky to be sent to 50+ countries in the world. That helps to understand different folks and their way of life.
    Stefan.

    NB: In WW2 talk, my motto is: Enemies yesterday - friends today

    Two Irish grandmothers and one grandfather of Scottish descent, whose families arrived in Canada between 1820 and 1840. The other grandfather is descended from French immigrants who arrived around 1645.

    I'm only second generation Canadian. Three of my grandparents were from England (two from Dover, one from Southampton) and the fourth was German and from Berlin - she was fortunate to be studying in the UK before the war. (Her family were not practicing Jews but considered "of Jewish descent" or whatever by the Nazis.)

    We have a few Italian posters and more than a few from the Netherlands, I think :)

    Any correlation between a) mixed national backgrounds or b) emigration and interest in the Second World War?
