Default Re: 50 destroyers for bases deal

Certainly will, quote at lengh, if I sound brusque then it is indeed unintentional. But with an ID name like you have, you cannot but expect to be taken as just that when we hve not spoken before. Your own post to was quite a serious post and taken as such, until reading the last line which seemed more of a challenge than an invite. We may have gotten off on wrong foot, the nature of these places, and I may have misjudged the last line of your post last night, if so I apologise. Your own fault for using the addy you do daft Yank, errrr....the daft yank bit was British humour, FDR never got it either apparantly.
As for the papers I quote mate, they are all available on the net, Kings Diaries are copied in full in his own handwriting and were filled in daily giving us a great insight into Canadas view of the war.
But I will indeed quote with references of course.
Cheers and can my dad have his lighter back, one of your mob flinched it from him in 45, a big guy glasses, ginger hair and freckles, went by the name of Sam, do you know him?
