In those ancient times of Abraham and in the later years of Jesus and Mohammad, a time when people thought the world was flat, communications big snip Nice one Roger. But you left out the bit about the argument between Constantinople and Rome, how Rome hi-jacked the local income stream . . . As they say, follow the money. Then how Henry hi-jacked his share of the income stream . . . And how multiple charismatic evangelists discovered the income streams which could be developed through television . . . So is the connection with canals the word 'stream'? Loved your post, though. Beautifully articulate. -- JimB http://www.jimbaerselman.f2s.com/ for opinions comparing Greek cruising areas |

You'd be wrong about Mohammed. He was a tribal war lord, who got to the top by marrying well and then spent most of his life waging wars against other tribes. As soon as he was dead his family started fighting eachother over who would control 'his' religion, hence the split of Sunni and Shia, which has caused so many deaths over the centuries - in addition to the Moorish imperialism of the middle ages and its wars. |

I'm keeping off the Mohammed bit. We don't want a Fatwa or whatever they call it on the Macclesfield Canal! Roger Murray. |
