No probs Les I was just being picky 🤷‍♂️

On the topic in question, great people over there, did a job a few years ago and found the Iranians we dealt with to be friendly and open with a desire to show you what their country had and meant to them.

that means that two thirds are against it !!!!    it seems to be a very french thing to strike a lot , their country their ways I suppose , but why do people focus on UK problems when other places have plenty of issues as well !!!!

A third of a country's  population backing a strike is unheard of in many places, Personally I focus on UK problems because I work and live here. Why wouldn't I focus on it?
