but between us... you've made a terrible mistake, haven't you? C'mon, admit it... don't you prefer this flag?...

We're always willing to welcome back the prodigal son, you know. We'll pretend none of this ever happened and take you back.

Except Ted Kennedy. He can (bleep) off.

I seem to remember a BOAC ad, with Robert Morley inviting us to “Come back, all is forgiven.”

Yeah, yeah - you guys burnt Washington D.C. to the ground in 1814...but what have you done for us lately?

Many thanks for the sentiment. Happy Independence Day!

Thanks blokes......happy to speak english and not french.

We did have the British Invasion of the 196o's music.
Not bad to be conquered in that manner. Cheers!

"We will come back into the fold, only if you adopt our Constitution and agree that beer should be consumed cold."

I propose a compromise; We both make beer worth consuming at ANY temperature and share! Although some of England's favorite sons summed it up well, "American beer is like making love in a canoe, it's F***ing close to water!" (Monty Python)

Oh, and what DO you Brits do on July 4th?

They have the little thing call Wimbledon. They usually have the finals on July 4th, but they seem to be a week behind this year.

Have to admit, we should have kept the accent.

Thanks mate. But I lived in the UK for a few years. Your hamburgers are terrible.

Admin was kind today.

Ok, we might come back but I agree beer must be cold.

Steering wheel must be on the left side of the car.

None of this metric stuff.

A pound is a unit of weight measurement not a monetary value.

And we don't play Cricket. :-)



PS, on a serious note. Thanks for the support. Always a friend of the British always welcome the friendship of Great Britain.

Thanks for the good cheer!

Any day now we will have to come over and save your sorry behinds, again, and teach you how babies are made, again!
I reckon that your gene pool must be getting pretty stagnant, by now, and all evidence supports my opinion!

He's certainly won the media battle today. Off the Shuttle in an instant! His waving, smiling, badly shaven pumpkin head is everywhere.

Regardless, Happy Fourth Everybody!
