Why did you split up?
Joking apart, I don't think you can tell where someone's from by looking at a picture.

Re: I don't know if ....
I think you can tell where someone is from just by looking at them. I had a good look at one of the chaps down the street and I,m sure he,s from Africa!

Re: I don't know if ....
If you ever need anymore evidence that you can't judge where people are from, based on physical evidence, visit a naturist beach.
The couple you thought were probably International jet setters, who live in a grand chateau, are probably Betty and Fred from Barnsley.

Re: I don't know if ....
Well ... I found I'm no physiogsomething or other ... but it's fun reading this while I watch the blizzard burrying my car again ... I can put some of the blame on Bob Landy, who mentioned something to the effect that Accy is quintessential Lancashire .... ah well, back to the drawing board to see if I can come up with another oddball theory ... Looks like I will have time ... blowing so hard I can hardly see the other side of the street

Re: I don't know if ....
Well I guess my theory is wrong ... Mike, my Mohawk buddy, looked at the pics and the comments, and offered the wisdom of the First Nations (that would be red indians) and told me, "Eric, you are full of (one of the words I can't use. )" Although he did say that Cashman looks like an Algonquin .... another brilliant theory heads down the tubes
