Hi Marge, YOUR saying what I have always thought on these two people, there was an interview with tony Benn on a web page I found myself on the other week and it was brilliant, might have been Labour.com but cant be sure, reading that will really open anyones eyes as to what is going on in the world.

Subject: Re: [NTH-ENG] Teatime Sent: 25/11/2000 2:59 PM To: NTH NORTH-ENGLAND, NORTHERN-ENGLAND-L@rootsweb.com Dear Jim, And one of us foreigners :) is supposed to understand it :) . I understand that Americans generally think that the noon meal is lunch (12:00 pm is the usual time), the evening meal (5-7 pm) is generally called dinner. Supper is a fancy meal such as on Sunday in the evening about the same time. But many who prepare a large, hot lunch will call it dinner, the evening meal, lunch, and don't use the term supper (that I know of). Then, there are those who say the midday meal is dinnner, the evening is supper. It can become quite confusing if you don't know which the person is referring to. The times are all basically the same. I believe the upper classes will have their dinner/supper from 8 pm - 10 pm though there is no strict rule. America is so much on the go that it seems no one has time to sit down to eat, so they just grab something somewhere, or eat out all the time. One of the Commoners :) Glenda >Depends what class you are. >The middle and upper classes have tea and a light meal scones, cakes etc. >because they have dinner at about 8pm.

Jim - you are probably right. You get less American Dollars to the pound. I told you Don would argue with me. I have a complete mental block over numbers, especially money. I haven't paid anything for my AVG and I have the certificate. from MARGED the MANGLER I'll probably get mangled for this but I always thought that the Canadian dollar was worth less than the US Dollar' therefore £8 = $US 11 approx. and $Can 17 approx. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Marge , I'm still here, had a problem trying to log on , cable sometimes will not let me and then I spend days reading the mail, at the moment there is 236 to read. another problem is that when one of my children has been on playing games, I usually end up running scandisk because of some error that has taken place and that can take hours to run through, this happened today and I have just managed to log on after two hours using scandisk.
