Interesting Facts About England

Face it, we Americans are still very much "attached" to our "parent" country of England. Once we broke free and proved we could "go it alone" like any normal adolescent, the "mother" has conceded and must admit that, "Yes, they've done pretty well for themselves." So, parent and child have once again become united and hold quite a fascination for each another. Of course, the Beatles helped, at least in my case. (Just why did I discard all those magazines, articles & photos of these guys that I had been hoarding for years?)

Hey, I was at this concert in Minneapolis. I paid the enormous price of $10 to see the Beatles in person.
