I can't believe that no-one's heard of British Honduras :haha:

:cheer:

It adopted its new name in 1973, and gained full independence in 1981. The name Belize comes from the Mayan word belix, which means "muddy water".

I'll let you decide whether it's a :thumbs: or a :cheer:

He was a whaling captain based in Nantucket , Massachusetts. The Macy's red star symbol was inspired by the red star tatoo popular with Nantucket whalers.

No question today as I am out of here till Sunday.

Have a great weekend everyone.
