I hope Anne Lise that you and yours have a happy Norweigan Day tomorrow. Peter PS: A councillor in a part of the region I was born objects to the flying of St. George's Cross, the flag of England, on this saint's day the 23rd. April, on public buildings because a section of the community might be offended when they are not offended! During the last Soccer World Cup an MP who happened to be a Muslim boasted that there were more England flags flown in his very multi-racial constituency than any other constituency in England!
