Re: GEN: Weed of the Month

[Graham Small <grahams@LIBDOC.DEMON.CO.UK>]

Could I just add to look out for dated information on the EU itself ? Not
the EEC or EC any longer, plus it has been greatly expanded over the past
five years. Also, don't forget that Greenland is no longer an adminstrative
region of Denmark !!

Thanks.
