I'm surprised we've managed to keep these overseas territories, they are for all purposes on other countries soil. Especially I would have thought the US would have laid claim to the Cayman Islands and others nearby.

And we owe a great deal to Australia and Canada as members of the Empire, oops, the Commonwealth I mean. Not forgetting anybody else, like India, of course... But those pesky Aussies and Canadians.... ah, yes. Wonderful people.

Haha I guess they have let themselves down in recent times on that one. Bit of a big let down as well, come to think of it.

'corse not, your lineage has sailed the empire, and conquered the filthy peasants, thru the ages more than most it would seem!

you have quite the moose-head over the fireplace right there. King George would be proud, good sir, fear not.

Lol I have to admit my surname is Brett not because of the bretton (French) beginings but because it's based on Brit ie "here come the Brett's".
