Speaking as an expat Welshman who emigrated from London, yes, it is a little different. I prefer to wear cufflinks; unfortunately, single-cuffed shirts in the US do not generally have the extra buttonhole by the cuff button, so, if one wants to wear cufflinks, one has to wear double-cuffed shirts. -- ....................paul "Do the little things" ("Gwnewch y pethau bychain") St. David (Dewi Sant) of Wales, last sermon, Sunday 27th February 589 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
