Takes a big man to say that.
Seems we started on the wrong footing. Apology accepted. And welcome to the fold, so to speak.
I shan't hog this thread longer than neccessary, other than to say that I've never yet met a bad American (even though they send us all that Hollywood TV hog-wash). Conversely, neither have I ever met a bad Canadian. You have to realise that us Limeys are in awe of you and your great country. We are fully aware of the animosity that exist between Canada and the US, but imagine the scene: a Canadian, an American and a Brit all together in a pub... all talking modelling hobby-speak. Chances are we'd all of us get along pretty slick. 'Twould be spot on if we kept it that way.
For what it's worth, if you ever find yourself this side of the pond again, there will always be a welcome... as long as you teach OUR police how to achieve such a high conviction closure rate.
Thanks again.
Best regards from Blighty.
