Britain announced today

Hi,

There is not even a British ESA astronaut.

The UK is unsuitable,not because of the weather, but because it is too far from the equator.

I don't think jibes of this nature towards the British (or any particular nationality) really belong on these boards. Its pretty offensive...

To whom?
"Being offensive" is the new "blasphemy" of the 21st century..
