The poor man's life has really been turned upside down and trampled upon by some cretin at the border.

It doesn't surprise me, Stuey.....I was crossing the border a few days after Lord Mountbatten was killed.....I was taken in for questioning for having an Irish passport....and they grilled me.....x
