Hey, I knew all that.  But, it was worth getting a refresher.

Having said that, the is an obvious ommission and that is the "Commonwealth of Nations", formerly called the British Commonwealth.  By leaving that out, one leaves out icountries such as India and Pakistan.

And the obvious mis-statement about Gandhi/India about violently getting independence.  Gandhi was the essence of non-violence. The right statement would have been that both the U.S  and India became republics (i.e the Queen no longer the ruler).

Yea, nice one Jonny.  To say we all dont like each other is a bit untrue nowadays i think.  Or is it just me (I dont trust the Welsh though  [tongue])  Only joking  [big grin]

Woodguy, you are so far north you qualify as a Viking!! [big grin]

I suppose we do get on better nowadays, except when the Six Nations are at stake of course.

Give it another couple of hundred years and we English might have forgiven you Bannockburn!! [wink]

That was awesome!  Love the Venn diagram... cleared up so much.  Sad, too, I grew up in Canada (that's not the sad part...) and didn't know some of the finer details.

I was born & bred here, and I didn't know some of the finer details... [eek]
