Hey you guys, if it wasn't for us Brits, you'd all be speaking French or Dutch.
(Apologies for stooping to that, but I needed to let off steam after I had a guy the other day buttonhole me in the pub and use stock US anti-limey quip no. 354/2 - "If it hadn't been for us in dubbya dubbya two, you'd be speaking German")
Boring really, isn't it?
We're all in the same or similar boats, it seems - decent people rubbing along with each other, apprehensive about the rise of intolerance, wanting a better world for our kids and hoping our team wins. Just a shame about the governments we sometimes inflict upon ourselves.
