In a earlier era, highly placed miscreants who had abused the trust of the Crown were often led to the scaffold and beheaded--nowadays, it is more likely that these same types of rogues might merely end up being "be-Fredded." Zounds, methinks I like the sound of that! Edited by: Rob Faleer at:1st February 2012 22:03 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
