Folks as this thread is probably coming to the end of it's run, I would like to thank each and everyone who contributed. There were some great questions posed. Obviously I don't have the answers, just aspirations. I would guess that in the fullness of time what we will see is an International Europe where countries will still hold their culture, but not to the extent that they will fight with their neighbours to preserve it.As their neighours will be just like themselves, multi cultural.I have never seen so many different nationalites now living in my part of the North. I have no problem with that (just as long as they don't knock the rest of my teeth out)! Thanks.
