BUT -
Having said that - I like to offer my wholehearted apologies to anyone I've offended by finding this term humorous and I promise to be more PC in future. Whether or not this will cramp my sense of humour, I don't know as yet. It most probably will.
I'm sure I'll live through it - unlike a couple of other Uncles who died at the hands of the Germans and one other who committed suicide after being traumatised after relieving one of the concentration camps.
I digress - this was /is a riveting read and very educational - what a great thread! Back on track - I'll continue catching up.

Before I continue to contribute to this thread I'd like to know whether my apology about the humorous reference to the 'Nazi trust' (sorry) is accepted.
I'm not entirely sure about the niceties of this forum ( I'm very new) and therefore I'm not clear on whether
Eeyore usually ignores addresses to him/her or whether he/she is seriously offended by what he/she considers non PC stuff.
I find it quite strange and contradictory that that he/she is quick to the defense of the victims of WWII and yet finds it easy to condemn a new member of the forum.
As a 'newbie' I think I need guidance on this. I've been trying to make some input but feel that I have ,albeit subtly, been shunted.
