I'd fight with you but I'm off to Andi's community

It's the mere thought of that pink castle

By the way, Andi - my family is mostly French.

I suspect I have a kind of dual nationality that has an advatage in the UK - the Scots were strong allies of the French and my grannie was from County Cork. I'm currently seeking a Welsh link. Then I can't go wrong, really.

LOL! Actually it happened unexpectedly, he painted his castle a completely different colour (how it should have looked when first built) but it reacted chemically with the stone wall and turned pink..lol. The Irish had quite a good laugh at his expense
Google Kilcoe castle.

Patti- in Ireland us Brits actually have the right to vote for Irish parliament (but not for their senators) and of course the EU elections. I chose not to register and guess what, the lady who called at the house said that's fine, you don't have to register, bid me a good day smiled at the kids and off she went.
There is no council tax here...period. !!
