| I was over there for a couple of years (during the rainiest summer on record!) so I have to agree, the benefits of the locale are numerous. The aspects of the British Embassy that we had to encounter was much more laid back--this was in 1980, mind before security basically went nuts--but I have a feeling the tomes of mindless paperwork has gotten even worse on both sides. Use to be that marriage basically solved everything--they must figure that 'TERRORISTS!!' aren't above that ploy anymore! Do keep us posted and have a pint for--and any of those natty mince pies if there are any leftover... Cheers! Leesa J Ch > Thanks - it's always good to hear success stories.
