Hello All, Well, I've read and re-read the postings of the last couple of days and I can't see what all the fuss is about. I think Fran and I would disagree over US politics but she never mentioned Irish politics so where does the heading "Bitter politics" come from? I thought she gave a reasonable view of her visits round the North and what she has found then gave a website that people could visit IF they wanted to. Still no bitter politics. The only bitterness, I thought, was when a couple of listers referred to the lack of funding for "genuine" Donegal culture, like singing and fiddling. Surely this is a matter for the Republic's government and not for our list? (I would like to know what "genuine" culture is, though). We have 2 cultures in this area and each is deserving of respect and government funding. I thought Fran was trying to pour oil on troubled waters but others set fire to it, Rob Doragh Liverpool UK _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
