    3. "We hated "Frere Jacque."" On the subject of songs, I get mightily miffed when you Americans "mess up" the song, which originated in England, called "Ring-a-ring o' Rosies" which does NOT go "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down"!!! For the record, here's the ORIGINAL lyrics ... Ring-a-Ring o'Rosies A Pocket full of Posies "A-tishoo! A-tishoo!" We all fall Down! Darn Americans always want to do things YOUR way don't you?!? Says me, running for the hills before I cop a heap of hate mail for giving "my fellow Americans" a hard time!! ROTFLMBO Take care, Rob.
