<br><br>By the way, I don't agree that none of us Saxons (I'll just
call it that) has any self esteem where our heritage is concerned, or
that nobody feels like we're a unity, like the Catalans do, or that
nobody even knows about our little piece history anymore. There may not
be many people, but there are some. Like me. It's like that Catalan kid
said, I got a Dutch passport, but I don't feel like I'm Dutch. I feel
like I'm a, well, Saxon, one of the Tukker variety, just happening to
live on the left side of the divide.
