MIKE,
I am naive in this area, after a brief search at Wikipedia, I find substantial 'grey areas' in the various legal definitions in relation to the Child/Adult boundaries.

As it should be. We don't suddenly become adult overnight

Andrew C, that sounds sense. Someone in the checkout queue behind me one day said something, and I found myself immediately asking "What part of Canada do you come from?" and she was so delighted at not being taken for an American that we started chatting - and found she had relatives that came from the same area (Cumberland as was) that my ancestry came from!
Tiny world, indeed.

I was once told that it is very difficult to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian, but the quickest way was to tell that to a Canadian.

The blanket prescribing of Statins has been quoted as a cause of Dementia and Alzheimers’ .

Just the opposite. Research shows that statins reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by about 30% and vascular dementia by about 7%.

I used to know a Philip Christmas at university.

.. After Culloden many laws were brought in against the Scots and of course the infamous anti-Scots verse of the "British" National Anthem.

Just as an aside, the anti-Scots verse was never part of the anthem. There's quite a long essay about the origin of this verse but to summarise, it seems to have been made up in about 1836 or 1837 by a magazine editor who claimed something along the lines of it having been "heard by the friend of a friend" (I'm paraphrasing here.) http://www.aforceforgood.org.uk/precious/anthem1
Having said all that, the actual anthem is a dreary old Royalist dirge at the best of times
