Phil,
Believe it or not, I have an answer to your "Limey" question.
Seems that back in days of yore when the British were THE glodal power
and doing all their exploring, they would carry LIMES , es, the citrus
fruit, on their ships to fight scurvy, a disease caused by lack of
vitamin C.
How about that.
Lots and lots of usless B.S.
Best Regards,
