‘But there must be something remarkable about us English people. I’m sure there is........’
Is it that we pioneered the concept of personal freedom in 1215 and then built the society, government and system of law that the US is based on? Developed the greatest language in the world and then from a small island conquered a full quarter of the worlds surface and a full third of her population, thus spreading that language and making it the language of the world? ;-)
So...how's that been working out for ya?
