Blimey, no-one except Micca then. It wasn't meant to be taken literally, what I meant is the general population doesn't know about Paul Revere because:

1) We weren't taught US history in school.

2) We haven't bothered to find out.

To relate these to my lardy self, 1) certainly is the case 2) I've been finding out about a lot of things in the US in the past few years but that aspect of history isn't one of them (dinosaurs actually - woo-hoo!).

I rest my case M'Lud.
