MY MISTAKE, I CALLED IT THE 'BRITISH' COMMONWEALTH...IT IS ACTUALLY JUST
CALLED 'THE COMMONWEALTH'...IT'S A ROUND TABLE AND BRITAIN JUST HAPPENS TO
BE A MEMBER.

NO, FRANCE WAS NEVER PART OF THE OLD BRITISH EMPIRE...IF EMPEROR NAPOLEON
HAD HAD HIS WAY, BRITAIN WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE FRENCH EMPIRE (AND WE
WOULD NOW HAVE BETTER FOOD :-)

QUESTION...DOES FRANCE HAVE A COMMONWEALTH??

YES CLAUDE, ELEVEN PLAYERS ON EACH SIDE...WOMEN PLAY CRICKET ALSO (VERY WELL
IN FACT)...I WILL TRY TO WRITE A SIMPLE GUIDE TO HOW TO PLAY CRICKET, BUT TO
BE HONEST I THINK THAT WHACK-A-MOLE WAS A BETTER IDEA.
THE WORLD CUP COMPETITION IS NOT AS GOOD WITHOUT ZIDANE.
