er No! (10 characters):mail:

Independence for your county? (I missed out the "r" because you have such a tiny population in comparison to London). If there were to be a true referendum it would be about independence for London - and if that were to happen the rest of Britain would surely weep. It's like saying "Independence for Woking" - which would be truly pathetic.

How about Independence FROM London. That should take care of Parliament. I rather like that idea old chap.

In my day we were taught about the American Revolution in school. Essays abounded with words and phrases such as "treachery", "ingratitude" and "render unto Caesar". Nowadays I understand that something called "Cultural Studies" is taught, and that is why America does not feature in the curriculum. I expect that some schools teach about it but you probably have to pay to attend them. :)

:laugh: I remember asking my mother when I was about 10 years old, about the Revolution and our seceeding from Great Britain (basically),,,,, and why the US didn't allow the South to succeed from the union in 1861 if we had done the same thing during the Revolution,,,,I mean, it seemed kind of 2 faced to me LOL.

she said "History is written by the victor" or something similar,,,,so I asked her what would have happened if the British had won the REvoloution (and they really should have,,,,if they hadn't been exhausted from the war with Napoleon, they probably would have won),,,,

we'd be flying the British flag, making a good cup of tea, speaking with an accent,,,,,,,,,,,and Washington would have been hung for a traitor.

From your perspective, your history is quite right :)

If it wasn't for our Founding Fathers we'd all be speaking English right now and we'd be stuck smoking that English Chinese crap. I'm sure the better English French crap would be banned.

Go native and try the tomahawk peace pipe for your smoking pleasure- I bet your friends don't have this pipe! Could be dangerous if having an argument over best tobacco delivery device. View attachment 224298

They charge way to much for those for as small of a bowl as it has.
I don't smoke a pipe often, but when I do I want it to last until the next time I rarely smoke a pipe and that takes big bowls.

Yes. Independence. I believe it is the duty of every English man to move to Scotland in time for them to get a vote for independence. I'm here for England. What about you?
