The war of insurrection was one of many wars the British have lost. But the British are a pragmatic lot, a our history shows. We wouldn’t have spent 30 years crying in our soup whilst trying to post justify our loss in Vietnam, we just move along. Good luck t’ya.

Well, my understanding is George the Third never did get over the loss of the American colonies, and even bitterly complained about it on his deathbed.

But nevertheless, I am an Anglophile; having spent many a day at RAF Chicksands, Upper Heyford, Lakenheath, and Mildenhall, and surrounding environs, always enjoying British company as IF I WAS AT HOME HERE IN THE USA. We really are related, not just in the genes, but in the culture as well.

To Byron the Aussie--I spent two years at Woomera and absolutely loved it--well not out in the bush but Adelaide especially. Same as being in America. I never met more friendly people.
