Lonnie, this site won't let me post the second part of my answer to your question below, so I'm going to try to post it here. Here goes!

I know the question relates to Jews in England, but I would like to add that Jews in Israel I find to be generally aloof, unfriendly, and unhelpful - apart from most waiters and waitresses who seem happy enough to chat. Maybe the others have a lot on their minds.
Weeal, I'm pleased you said that. You need to see the holocaust museums in New York, and more especially in Israel, to really realise what the holocaust was all about - and then, to be perfectly honest, we're the lucky ones, because none of us can really ever understand what those people suffered. Man's capacity for cruelty to his fellow man is truly, truly unbelievable. Absolutely heart breaking.
Ha! I think several of my complete replies have appeared! Sorry about that, but I kept trying and trying. It was so frustrating! I didn't realise they would all eventually pop up! Anyway, hopefully we're back to normal now. :o)
