Hi Owen,

And also, not to be a cry baby , but my forefathers was interned on St Helena by the British, in the first kinda concentration camps. We still get the things these poor soles made in our Museums and my family name is among them.

Regards.

Barrie, we're really off-topic, but I did it, so be it. Last year in Bermuda I visited the Dockyard and its museum; part of the facility was a British prison on and off for a century or more, and many artifacts (letters, carvings, etc.) from the Boer War prisoners. Interesting place to visit but doesn't shed good light on what man can do to man.

Hi Owen

Yes we are.

Funny thing is that the Afrikaner loyalties was actually with the Germans initially in wwII because of the atrocities in the internment camps during the Boer War in the early 1900's.

But, anyway, that is why rich Afrikaners only bought American as opposed to Rolls Royce! haha! Chev, Packard, Buick, Cadillac and etc were very popular here!

Regards and best of times in US!
