ix-nay on the earance-clay. You know we can't discuss that...
What may be more pertinent is that the boys both have universal passports,
and are considered citizens in each country, and so are not foreign
nationals anywhere. That may ease Ian's concern.
I will echo Dave's wishes for a happy and healthy Holiday season to a very
giving bunch of people.
