Gervase!
On behalf of the USA (self-appointed you understand), thank you, for the good wishes.
I view July 4th as a celebration of the genius of John Locke, George Mason and Thomas Jefferson, and the triumph of the individual rights of mankind.
It's also a great excuse for throwing a party, making music and getting slightly tight on good English beer.
So, my friend, Gervase. Have a Bishop's and celebrate with me! Chance
