International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So it is OK to give PADMA SHREEs by a third world country but not OK to bestow honours to people who are inventors, do-ens and public helpers of world fame? Secondly does George know about the Economic Climate after England had won the WWII? (I'm not going to start a history lesson here, but he better do some research). All other currencies are below UKs - how about that for a start. Why he is given a Knighrhood has a political undercurrent, UK is not stupid. It is India that is stupid (killed Indira and got our currency from Rs15/-to £ during her time to R80/- today). ED. ---------- George said: empire, a minor country on the current world stage in need of America's coat tails to be seen and heard. This annual charade is part of its self-amusement which markets itself with the least employed family in the world (the Royal family) who have been on the public dole for centuries.......................................
