Quite serious in that an articulated lorry tried to write me off but I've been VERY lucky and now just have a residual hip problem, but a bit of pain and immobility is better than being dead in my book! LOL

Most of the threads here in the UK are pretty much against the US and those in our own government who have decided to try and speak for us. I think there is still a residual mistrust of Putin himself but William Hague definitely DOESN'T speak for the masses here.

It's quite comical that the US called the Russian Federation land grabbers. We have a saying here in the UK 'pot calling the kettle black' which fits our view of it all quite well.
