We have almost the same saying: "The first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation loses it." Not always true though, look at the bankers!

Yup, over here it's three generations from cogs to clogs ... bankers of course are a different breed.

Have the government said there will be some changes? If anything, they should look at the individual not the guns. People are killed daily in car accidents but do they ban cars? No, they ban talking on phones, drink driving etc. all valid changes to the law on driving in my eyes.

Ermm ... Ok, caught a bit of cross-wind down range here. Now if I adjust my lateral thinking a few degrees to compensate ! I don't think anti-gun politics was altogether the cause of AJPs demise. Maybe old Mrs Parker just wasn't interested in exploiting any value in such an established name. Britain is ruled by City money men and they are not the least bit interested in engineering. I mean, why would they want to risk any of their ill gotten gains on anything as risky as manufacturing, when it can be shipped in from China at a fraction of the cost ?

Is there a ban on cars ? Ask any working class 18 to 25 year old Brit how much they will have to pay for insurance cover, it's as good as a ban.

V-bull ?
