[SOC] Brit bashing week begins today

[Chris Redding]

What Empire???. We gave it all back....starting with the Grot Spots.

Do your worst, you rebellious tea-dumping colonial upstarts, but remember:
Over here 'Rounders' (Baseball to you) is played in girls high schools -
THEY EVEN PLAY IN THE RAIN, and our Rugby League (Gridiron) players don't
dress up like great Jessies either.

Love from 'over here'
Chris, G4PDJ

p.s.If the shot in the 18th Century was heard around the world, how come the
sound of gunshot fired in 1939 took three years to cross the Atlantic???.
