>Here is a little historical tidbit. One of my work stints in England was at J. Sainsbury in London, and one of the client workers invited me to spend the weekend with his family in Gravesend, south of the city. On the Saturday we went on walkabout. We stopped in at his local, introductions all around, jokes at my expense as the token Yank, and then we found ourselves in a churchyard with a statue of Pocahontas. I asked why there was a statue of her there and Roger said, oh, she's here herself. I hadn't known John Smith took her back to England with him and she died there.

Why else do you think the place is called Graves End? :-)

Pocahontas eh? Do you think Smith DID manage to? {vbg}
