It were them thar filthy swines, the Spanish, that welcomed the (twice) outcast Cadiens into Louisiana that can (possibly) take the credit for Cajun music (not the Cajuns, ignore 'em)(better still, transport 'em to Kent. U.K.)
And although the poor old froggies have been blamed for much destruction in Portugal during the peninsular war, I hazard a guess that us Brits did a fair amount of *liberating* despite Wellingtons orders to the contrary. I have heard somewhere that Portugal are our oldest ally, so what did they do in two world wars? Allied 'emselves to Switzerland, no doubt! At least we know where the French stand, firmly and unequivocally on both sides of the fence.....so there.

(rather like us, really)
Now, lets get at the Dutch!!!
