Or Italian, or French, or anything other than English

We don't have to look too far back though. There were humans around when it was still possible to walk from Britain to Europe. It's interesting the way words change. Hardly enyone talks now about Global Warming, the new pc phrase is Climate Change. Much more tenuous, it's lack of a clear meaning means it's very hard to argue about its effects. Why am I bothered? Look how much we're all spending, then follow the money trail................ Cynical moi?
Goddammit, it must be Friday.
