Actually it's losing several wars to the French that does it to you.
Stiff upper lip and all that rot!



Anybody got a clue WTF this **** is going on about?

What wars.....???


(We *lost* a war? - When did that happen? Why wasn't I told? -
Actually,
forget that, the French actually *won* a war??? What's that all about
then?))

Pity the sad state of British education. You could start with William the
Conqueror- technically I suppose.

HTH!



It does. Now go to that page and seach (Ctrl F) for:

"In many ways, England's victory set the stage for the American Revolution."

and give some to consideration to the fact that this little country (UK) has
probably been the most steadfast and dependable friend you Yanks have ever
had (or ever will have). The really good news is that this 'special
relationship' will be affected *not* one iota by all your pathetic attemps
to niggle a few Brits with silly little references to skirmishes that were
not much more than family squabbles (and which provided more long-term
employment than even your own SETI project of more recent years).....

Now get a life, you sad little ****.
