Just curious, but are you an expat? Your English is a bit too good...

I was born in England, on the south coast (Shoreham) but my Grandfather was from the Czech Republic. He was hunted by Nazi's so Lady Rowntree smuggled him out of Europe (for those who're curious, yes, the same Lady Rowntree of Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles fame - she ran an "underground railroad" out of Europe during WW2).
So I'm quarter Czech, which is where the name is from. The rest of me is from Ireland, Scotland and England. Which gives me special rights over "Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman" jokes...

Thanks for the detailed info! I thought Anton sounds a bit slavonik, and there you go...Anton wrote:I was born in England, on the south coast (Shoreham) but my Grandfather was from the Czech Republic.
