Grand news. I go to the US on the 12th October so it will be like home from home. Will they have similar charvers looking like skip rats and in need of a good dinner standing in the middle of the road and hurling unfathomable obscenities at the traffic coming their way?

God bless America. Second best country in the world.

Speaking of the Queen, time we changed our national anthem to this which is genuinely an English anthem.

In all seriousness, I have, for a number of years, written the occasional letter to my representatives asking that we apologize to Her Majesty for the revolution, and humbly ask her to accept us as subjects once again. It will never happen, I know, but I think America and the world would be much better off it it did. Some windmills are worth tilting at.

There was a chain email gag right after the 2000 US Presidential election, about how since the US could not elect a leader it would revert to British rule, "except for Utah, which her majesty does not fancy"

Undoubtedly not.

The sane part of the world needs a strong United States acting in accordance with its historic values.

A lot of you seem to be like a lot of us in that you're critical of yourselves despite what has been achieved by both countries over the years: perhaps it's an indication of high standards.

Would she be Elizabeth II to the Americans, or Elizabeth I?

Maybe just Elizabeth sort of like those English Kings who had a different number in Scotland.

We are going to retain panties though - knickers are men's pants so it sounds gay to say that you want to get into someone's knickers.

Anyway, who will then come save your asses every time the Germans rise up which is about due again?

[Robert]

No need, Stan. If we had control of America we would use the most dreadful weapon ever invented - we would bombard the Germans with Barbara Streisand records. Barbaric, I know, but war is war.

Who? The Germans? Never have beens.

They've only raised their heads above the parapets three times since the birth of Christ.

First time, they came here about 1500 years ago and turned us into Germans.

Second time, 1914, we had an army of 100,000 professional soldiers up against a few million professional soldiers and they still struggled with us at Mons and the rest of the war.

Third time, some fella with a penchant for wearing women's clothes under his leather lederhosen turned up with some aeroplanes and ten minutes later they gave it up for a bad job and went to Russia.

Massively over-rated the Germans, never done anything here except colonise us around 500.

You guys are just jealous because we can acquire anything we want by just printing more money - nobody wants the Pound or the Euro.

I don't like tea either - compared to coffee, it's too bland.

On the flip side, you guys do have the best murders and build the best race (racing) cars - two of my favorite subjects.

We still lead you 2-0 in nuclear annihilation.

Roundabouts are, to effect, just very expensive 4-way-yield intersections.

We do have a "football" where the foot has nothing to do with it - I will give you that.

[RavenDarkendale]

Certainly we here in the USA could hardly do worse than the shape we're in now. Our forefathers thought taxation without representation unfair. It isn't any better WITH representation, guys.

[Robert]

Of course, if you guys are going to come in from the cold and rejoin us, you will have to fall in with our obsequious kowtowing to royalty :

And wear really silly clothes for public ceremon...Hang on, I've seen some American tourists.....

[sdreid]

Too bad it's too late to get Screaming Lord Sutch for governor of British North America.

[Robert]

Stan, I'm not sure if even Sutch could have steadied the ship. You see, where you lot went wrong, was getting rid of Ben Cartwright.
