I will visit your country some day. I may still have some relatives in the Suffolk area. My great grandfather built parks there.

Kool, One of my long past relatives was General Wolf. He also went to Canada and never returned. Some long forgotten relative of mine married Mary Wolf. His sister I believe. Do you think Earl Grey had tea with General Wolf? Hmmm, interesting world.

Of course my other side of the family didn't like the English at all. Scottish, you know.

Hey Victor,

While we are spouting about historic ties and places, I can trace my lineage back to Sir Robert Walpole and Sir Horace Walpole. One being the first Prime Minister of your country and the other being an (in)famous man of letters.

Look up the history of a residence called "Strawberry Hill" and, if my memory serves me correctly, 10 Downing Street too... Quite interesting.
