Yes, it's a good one.

It's drawn some critisism from some, but I think it's a great message.

I liked it.  One of my best riding buddies was German.  Mom wasn't keen on that, though.  The soldiers aren't the ones that usually start wars, yet they suffer the most from them as well as the locals.

  Jim.. It's bloody politicians that start them.

Here's the making of the ad.

  it Debs!  Now you've gone and made me  !  And I haven't even been drinking....yet.

I wonder if they ship that chocolate over here in the US?

Just found the US branch of the Royal Legion.  Donated to them.  Thanks Wolf and Debs for the Videos!

If you can't get one over there, let me know and I will get you one and send it over 

Think I will also get myself a few.. Mmmmmmmm

Thanks, Debs.  I may have a source at Britstore.co.uk .  I sent an email.  They answered nearly immediately (OMG!) and then said that they would send a link to the product on Monday.  Can't believe the customer service so far.  I may just go hog wild and see what else they carry!

Ordered them from here...  (10)

In rememberence of that historical day last weekend there was here, near Ypres, a football tournament for kids 12 yrs of all premier league teams.
It was on tv here.  It was on a brand new fakegrass field, sponsored by british premier league to keep this rememberence alive...
The day after xmas in a few weeks it will be 100 yrs ago...
This tournament decides on what teams will play final round at that birthday...

Jo Pete,   If I may recommand a very nice place to eat in a nice environment....  Its only 10/12 miles from ypres in little cute village Watou and they are specialized in heavenly menus all prepared with heavenly beers... ! But they bring and prepare it like it are the best wines...

If you do not have to ride back on bike :-))
Its wellknown in region...
