My best friend's wife was a Mexican national. For her, I think the citizenship process took about three years. We went to her citizenship ceremony (lots of them are held here). For such a simple affair it was extremely disorganized and many spectators left before the actual ceremony. My wife and I did, as we couldn't stand sitting there any longer. Government in action.

Went to Uni there - seems a VERY long time ago now!

Yes it is still have family there.

I probably do too, very distant family.

Welcome to the team!

Thanks. The movie, Zulu, presented the regiment as Welsh, with an English officer, Lt. Gonville Bromhead, VC. But the film also misrepresented Pvt. Hook as a no-gooder, and his family sued and I gather they won a substantial settlement.

I hope I didn't leave the impression that one had to have relatives at Rorke's Drift to be a good American. That battle against enormous odds just gave a good account of all British troops there, your 11% included.

I don't think I had relatives there, either. Or, at Agincourt or other famous battles, for all I know. I do know that an ancestor had two sons who were officers killed fighting Napoleon. But that probably doesn't make me an outstanding American.

Sorry if I ruffled your feathers. Not my intent. I was trying to offer a potential compliment.

Never ruffled my feathers mate

Congratulations and welcome to a fellow American! By the way, owning a 1911 in my opinion is as American as you can get weapon wise. Enjoy.

Some of my ancestors were Davises and Griffiths. In fact, one of the Griffiths was made a count and the title passes down to all of his descendants. So I jest refer to myself as a no account count.

Gee, I thought that would have made you an ac-count-ant.
