”I did read the title, John, which is why I said I feel quite entitled to call her ours. I suspect we are at cross purposes and not wishing to get any further involved in pointless semantics I shall gracefully withdraw :-) “

No problem Dave, it’s very interesting to hear different sides in a discussion, especially when the other person has your kind of personal experience.

I almost completely agree with you, my only difference seems to be that I strongly believe that, when representing a country, a sportsman/woman should be a native of that country, born there.

Perhaps I’m out of step with others here - it doesn’t bother me one jot, I’ve spent the past 24 years being the guy who’s out of step, I’m very well accustomed to it! ;-) :-)
