[QUOTE] Good old Euro-centicism and British imperialism [/QUOTE]as an aside, and not leaving the appalling pretenishness of the dude living in a five story upper east side Manhattan townhouse, no doubt living on 'old' inherited money, I think the upcoming elections in the UK will mark a clear end to Britain.

I think the clear "end" is a little way off yet, but there's likely some truth in what you say. I think there's still a chance it could hold together, and the current vitriol being spouted in a very negative election campaign may subside once post-election normality resumes, but it's going to be a rough ride.
If another Conservative government is formed, I think it's curtains. And probably a reinstatement of one of the forgotten verses of the national anthem...

I admit I'm not up on the latest in UK politics. What is going on there to warrant such a statement?
Fortunately Apple is moving ahead with this project. While the company is willing to listen and compromise when it comes to neighborhood concerns, Apple won't be bullied. These folks need to compromise as well, or Apple may buy the whole neighborhood.

Good old Euro-centicism and British imperialism
The suspense is unbearable! I hope it will last.

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!

These folk need to pull the stick out of their butt.
I live nearby, and most people here welcome a new Apple Store!
