Our Formula 1 motor racing has people charging around corners at 120 mph and doing 220mph on the straight. The winner will get 10 points. The US game show "Wheel of Fortune" has people winning 2,000 points if they are lucky or maybe only 100 points if less so. You guys like large numbers. (I'm surprised your cars don't measure speed in feet per hour). We are happy with a range of body weights from 8 stone to 15. Some are more; some are less. Americans aren't happy unless they have hundreds of things or, better still, thousands of things. Uns. ------------------------ Yahoo!
