George Washington signed the Proclamation of Neutrality which threatened legal proceedings against any American providing assistance to any country at war.
1795..... sorry I wasn't round much yesterday, spent 10 hours on a full closure of the motorway following a multiple vehicle RTC. Cement across all 3 lanes resulting in 20 miles of standing traffic in temperatures exceeding 30 degrees C!!! Hottest day of the year in our part of the country, dozens of broken down cars, secondary crashes at the rear of the queue and medical emergencies galore with no way to get to them due to the traffic!!! I was glad to get home 4 hours later than normal!!!
