Thanksgiving, big in the US means nothing to the rest of the World, so why keep hammering on as if we Brits and the rest of the Mudcatters are interested. Now the Irish really should have a thanksgiving for having survived as a race. During the Potato Famine they were reduced, from a nation of 9 million in 1840 to 3 million in 1849, no thanks to our Government, thanksgiving, yes the Irish should be really thankful. Sean Bull.
