Funny how Keith said that being a Catholic doesn't matter in England. Maybe not for many people but laws still on the statute books prevent Catholics from holding many of the top posts. Suppose a Catholic wanted to marry the heir to the throne - tough as no Catholic could become king or queen. As for the six counties, I don't suppose many English would know why they exist. In a recent survey carried out in England on children aged between 11 and 18 a good few thought that Adolph Hitler was the Prime Minister of England during the War (World War 2 that is). Adolph must be laughing his balls off.
