There was no need to respond quite so sharply - and after all, you were talking about people being stupid, which isn't exactly nice. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't saying that you were stupid. I was merely pointing out that I thought you'd spelt the name of a country wrong. If you go to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website, you'll see a section on travel advice to particular countries. You can't get much more official than that and it's spelt with a 'c' there.<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1156721606898757312006-08-28T00:33:00.000+01:002006-08-28T00:33:00.000+01:00Is this the same Joan Collins who helped Robert Ki...Is this the same Joan Collins who helped Robert Kilroy Silk get elected as a UKIP MEP for the East Midlands...<BR/><BR/>Less than a year later, voters wised up in the general election and unceremoniously sent him home.<BR/><BR/>I believe he just about held his deposit.<BR/><BR/>Presumably he's still claiming handsome allowances from the European Parliament, but does anyone know what he actually does to justify his rations these days?fairdealphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246131944479743426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1156720800984582592006-08-28T00:20:00.000+01:002006-08-28T00:20:00.000+01:00David from W5 said...

In this country (Ealing apart evidently) we spell it Equador, just as we refer to Italy rather than Italia.<BR/><BR/>And here's a little friendly tip for you - if you intend visiting this site regularly, or any other blog for that matter, try not to be too picky about others' spelling - it won't win you many friends.Peter from Putneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133613985279722397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1156691458943678462006-08-27T16:10:00.000+01:002006-08-27T16:10:00.000+01:00Peter from PutneyProbably a good thing if you got ...Peter from Putney<BR/><BR/>Probably a good thing if you got the spelling right - it's Ecuador with a 'c', isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1156676958970150122006-08-27T12:09:00.000+01:002006-08-27T12:09:00.000+01:00theinjuredcyclist said...
