>Thats got to be one of the key moments in recent history. If it had gone the other way and Halifax became PM I think you are right and Britain would have come to an deal with the Nazis and history would have been very different . Still might have ended with the Soviets defeating the Nazis but then dominating all of Europe.

>Anyway enough of this historical speculation I'm off to watch my recordings of Deal or No Deal. :-)
I am waiting for the Gold DVD collectors edition. I prefer to experience the drama in its entirety without commercial interruption and especially with the DVD extras : "Deal or No Deal Strategies" and "The Wit and Wisdom of Howie Mandel"

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
