[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 435561, member: 10"] Funny point you bring up Brew... Ever wonder why it's called The Imperial System? (Yes I realize there is some variation with US Customary Units, but we still call it Imperial) And Allyby.. Poor poor chap... The Brits were lock, stock, and barrel dominated by the Romans.. Hadrian's Wall was to keep the Scots out.. You chaps have been pounding it into their heads that they are British for a few hundred years, they aren't, and many still realize that. And as Brew pointed out you couldn't even keep the system of measurement you invented, instead having continentals cram their system down your throat.. Tsk tsk. You people lost your right to smugness when you dropped from the charts of National Importance. Now run along and do what Germany via the EU tells you to do.. We fight two wars to save y'all's bacon and you hand the keys to Germany anyway.. I'd shake my head if I wasn't in a brace. (I do hope you boys realize I'm just being an ass out of humor, I've actually been called "British at heart" by my compatriots) [/QUOTE]
