My dad and I usually go down to Chicago, Cleveland or someplace similar on business once or twice during the summer. He brings me along because he is incapable of operating a vehicle past midnight because he gets so tired and I thoroughly enjoy driving any time of day, so I pretty much chauffeur him everywhere while he gets presentations or whatever ready. We always stop off at the same huge warehouse in Indiana (i think it's indiana) called Phantom fireworks and go hog wild... We both love fireworks. I have a large supply of firecrackers sitting in the basement now and he likes the really big, expensive ones that fly way up into the air which are illegal here. Should be fun.

Ahh yes. Please be more literal, they may share their policies, but I still refer to the political parties by their given names.

I mean this as a sincere question as I have no idea... Are the 'whigs' and 'tories' still around under those names? It's a stupid question, i know, but I live a world away remember.

Not a silly question from you.....Rav, on the other hand.....
No they are not. Not since late 19th or early 20th century

Not the Whigs...last time I heard that I was studying History.
The use of the word Tories still commonly refers to the Conservatives...as Fiona should well know I was referring to.

I didn't think so, didn't it change under Disraeli? For some reason that always stuck in my head, but I couldn't be sure, I thought I may have imagined that...
