Doug: That reference to the Boston Tea party, which in turn led to
American Independence, always amuses!
..
But even more amusing was an occasion (in the eraly 1960s) when
myself, an ex Brit. had to explain to a good friend and neighbour at
that time, an American serviceman (Tech. Sgt.) of Mexican extraction,
the significance to American history of the Boston Tea Party!
..
His wife though was from Massachusetts or Maine (somewhere in New
England) and one would have thought she would have explained it!
