And that would be countered with, "Oh you Irish are this, that or the other." The British List are like that as well. Don runs this list and I think he is doing a great job. Kudos to Don! >> I hear about the same kind of rudeness at the ski resorts in Europe. I hear the U.S. ski resorts especially out west are so nice and polite!!! I don't think I've read anything on here that wasn't appropriate for the list. I usually scan thru pretty quickly. I think we all can tell pretty quick whether it is our line or not or whether it is something we think we will need. You never know what someone out there might need!!! Great list!
