Of the ones I have, the following from the past two years are British I
think: Duncan. Mengham, Mendolssohn. Larkin, Brady, Kemmedy, Hulse, Milne,
James, as well as Randolph for Ireland. Of course there'a a fine bunch of
Aussies too, including both Jill Jones & Alison Croggan.
So, I'm not sure how I'll think of them all, but that's quite a bunch from
the British Isles, neh?
