Is there a difference between the two then? (It's 'were' by the way) Bit foolish to generalise that war-time footballers were COs. See my earlier post for famous examples of players who served but still played for club and country between 1939 and 1945.

Why give a stuff what I think? I've got no say in whether Falmer happens (however, in all honesty I did write to John Prsecott in support of your plight as my best mate is a seaweed and he sent me some standard letter thingy to sign). I thought if I made my username five-nil or something...
