Subject: RE: Lyr req: Building Up & Tearing England Down
When I was about 12 we had an Irish construction worker living with us for a while.

He said that he was working in a hole when his pick hit a rock and struck a few sparks.
The foreman said "That's England for you Pat".
Pat replied "And this is Ireland - Knocking sparks off of it"
