Well thank you. You know I've heard that Thanksgiving is celebrated in England as well as America. That's when the English knew the colonists weren't coming back. |

Thank you and thank you GB for the rule of law, literature (I'm talking Hornblower, etc.) and a common language (George Bernard Shaw), whatever some of those colloquial expressions mean. |

I've been to Great Britain 5 times and have many good friends there. Wonderful country and great people. I'm glad we made up and became true brothers. |

Happy 4th from your Canadian cousins! |

I've always wanted to visit the UK – the Fates
have conspired against lo these 79 years.. One g'parent's (maternal g'father) ancestor was born
there, in Cornwall. |

Lived in England for 4 years on the military's bill in late 70s, if anything didn't see enough of the country. |

Thank you. Amexit has worked out well for us. But Big Red is right: we owe a great deal to our cousins across the Pond, and I've always enjoyed my visits. I'm not likely to make it to Chawton Cottage or the Battle of Britain Bunker--the two big things I missed--but it's not beyond hope. And right now, I think you're well out of US politics. |

Thanks, we're all cousins, just separated by a common language.

Happy 4th of July from Canada. I miss being able to cross the longest undefended border in the world. |
| nnascati | 04 Jul 2020 8:12 a.m. PST |
KevinV, if we rejoined the empire, would we become part of Canada? |
| robert piepenbrink | 04 Jul 2020 10:05 a.m. PST |
nnascati, the Canadians have immigration laws designed to prevent that sort of thing happening to them. |
| Ed Mohrmann | 04 Jul 2020 11:55 a.m. PST |
Robert P., THANKS ! I've needed a good laugh for 2-3
weeks ! |
| Thresher01 | 04 Jul 2020 12:20 p.m. PST |
Thank you. We love all our UK, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand cousins. May we always remain good allies instead of foes. |

I just realized there is a Today in History Board, here I use the Last Word thread for that use. |

Thank you. We were fortunate in the quality Englishmen who were our founding fathers. |
| KevinV | 04 Jul 2020 2:46 p.m. PST |
Sorry nnascati, I was outside tending my hobby garden. I planted some cabbage!
I hate to say there is no more empire- we have a Commonwealth and according to wiki, a commonwealth is a political community founded for the common good. We already have USMCA, so are kind of already together. :) Enjoy your day, good luck with the future. I really cannot imagine a world with a United Sates of America. |

We once again are experiencing taxation without proper representation, IMO. |

KevinV, my error in terminology. Regardless, I was hopeful that  |

nnascati, no errors. Happy birthday, |

Take us back, we are sorry! |
| Asteroid X | 05 Jul 2020 9:55 a.m. PST |
Nnascati, I've seen it's actually rather popular around here to have shirts with the opposite statement in effect. Don't believe everything the media tells you. |

No masking without representation |
