The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My ancestral homeland would be either Britain or Germany (I've got a bit of both). Do I have the right to return there? Nope. And I see no reason why I should. I was born here, for better or worse. And I live in peace. That's all I have the right to.

Do the circumstances in which your parents/grandparents migrated have any weight?

If they had to leave to avoid persecution, perhaps?

Austria decided, not to long ago, that it was right to offer citizenship to descendants of those who had to flee the 3rd Reich.

It's nice to know we have options as members of the EU. Portugal has warm water, surf, and good food.
