I do greatly appreciate and accept the apology, although your initial comment wasn't the primary one that drove me to feel compelled to make a reply.
It's not really the place for me to get into a firearms discussion, but as I understand it, classic
Britain was fairly
good about private firearms. I wouldn't have minded living there pre-1945, with respect to the many
good Britons that
still live there. I'm trying to get my point through without meaning offense, America's not perfect either.. I really admire the classic Englishman, as portrayed by Agatha Christie,various British historic figures, etc.
I have never been to
Britain, but I deeply admire the countryside there, and the classic estates. It also doesn't hurt that there's
Roman coins in
Britain! How cool would that be to dig up some coins!
The BBC seems to be on a decline in terms of radio drama, but it
still puts out far better radio drama than we've
had here since 1962. I enjoy classic British comedy as well - one of my all-time favorite programs is the
Men From the Ministry. I also am deeply into English language radio drama (as well as 1930s radio sets - I'm listening to a popular radio show on a 1937 Zenith tombstone as I
type this), primarily pre-1960, but I'll collect and appreciate any decent broadcast of any time.
