Actually, if America were still British, Obama certainly wouldn't have used "Yes we can" because of this little chap.

"What if America were still British?"
I'm glad I wasn't around in the late 1700's..I don't think I could handle it. If America was still British now, our country would be more screwed up than it is now. :p

I like the Brits, they have this wonderful sense of humor, but if it came down to war I do not think Benny Hill could win the day, just saying. I did love Benny though (why does he remind me of Sam Kinnison?), even if he was disowned:

Would they finally have devolution after a 100 years of 'armed struggle' between 'republicans' and 'unionists'?

It seems quite strange typing this as the TV is on with live pictures of Hilary 'I'm now a diplomat' Clinton in Belfast meeting parliament and hoping to bang a few heads together and stop the whole farce that is Stormont grinding to a halt.

The important question, though, is - Would the Austin Princess ever have been built in Detroit?

You're right Nebs. It's more of a multinational now ;)

There aren't any working streetlights in America! Ha!

I still don't really get it - it just made me imagine Matt Lucas's 'Yeahbutno' girl with a rotating head ;)

A 60s tower block instead of a nice middle-class Georgetown(ian? :D) house?

Can't ever tell if you two are joking...

If not though I'd suspect it had to do with the type of residence...?

Yep.

The Exorcist directed by Mike Leigh or Ken Loach - The problem being that the Linda Blair would be waiting 18 months for a hospital appointment with the NHS then gets taken into care where she's worshipped as a god. Or something...

Also, during the vomit scene, we'd just assume it was the hospitals pea soup she'd be served earlier.

I think the "I Say Team" is a minor work of genius.

I've heard that during World War II and the post-war years, Europeans differentiated between the Brits and American GIs, claiming the Brits acted like they owned the world, while the GIs acted like they didn't give a damn who owned it. :)

TBF, we did own the world. ;)
