Hello
Was reading your argument over Trains in USA against those in the America, of
course size of the countries and room have a lot to do with it, don't forget
that most countries here are smaller then 90% of the States with a population,
that makes housing more important then bigger trains, they don't have the wide
open spaces here you will find in the America's, so no need for gigantic
useless Locomotives, trains are also much more a use of daily Transportation
here, with trains moving on a track every few minutes instead of every few
days. To the dinky trucks here, i was in the Army here, had to drive a big US
flatbed a while, ever try getting around a 1500 year old city with a
Peterbuilt? oh right not hard going around a few indian Tepees, well anybody
want to try it here has to have a lot of time for to move it around a corner,
europeen trucks are made to fit, thing is 99,9% of Europeen truck drivers would
love to have the chance to drive a big U.S. rig.
About our British friends, i have been to Britain many times, and the great
thing is, the british are mostly some of the friendliest peaple i have ever
met, who usually don't go off about British better then......., we shouldn't
either.
Oh and another thing, you can have a beer with your Big Mac here at McD's and i
can still smoke my cigarette in public withiout getting stoned to death for it.
they do say usa, land of the FREE, sometimes i do wonder, and i am an american
myself who has enjoyed the hospitality and openess of the Eropeens for 20
years now, we have no reason to argue, wwe must join forces first to getz Lego
to make better sets first, because only together we are strong, as wer saw last
weekend, world wide AFOLS had the same wish that it wasn't an April Fools joke.
