For those with a questioning look on their non-US faces, Americans have often referred to Brits as 'Limeys' due to the fact that Her Majesty's sailing ships of olde used to carry plenty of citrus fruit to ward off scurvy. If I hadn't lived there I would probably never have discovered this. What most Anericans don't know is that Brits refer to them as Yanks. A slightly affectionate term, it has nothing to do with north / south battles gone by. Actually I prefer oranges :-) Cotty ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
