Message | Well being British I dont have much concern with July 4th, except the wonderful displays at the Menwith Hill base near my house. Remember, Remember the 5th of November, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot! I think that firework displays are a wonderful way of bringing teh general public together. New years should at least have a forework display! |
