Re: JOHNSTON: Tara, Ireland, to Prescott Co., Ontario

Gayle,

Europeans refer to Scots as "the Jews of the North" which might explain the "at home" feeling when visiting Israel.Personally I've always taken that as a compliment.

A good friend of mine is Jewish.When we used to go looking for parts and materials to fix up or remodel our houses we used to joke about how everyone ran when we started haggling over prices - they were outclassed and didn't stand a chance.
