I forgot there are people here who can't read past pictures:

Yes, just like those Peruvian bears that came over here and ate our marmalade sandwiches.

Francis Rossi is a member of the ice-cream family.

What did the Romans ever do for us?

I don't think the Romans were welcomed with open arms! The same applies to the Vikings and Normans.

Would there still be an active resistance in the UK if Germany had won WW2 and had occupied us?

Many of the conflicts taking place now, and in the fairly recent past, have roots based on the history of those countries in the past 100 years.

You're right. We shouldn't be apologising for the British slave trade till the Italians (as Romans) apologise for what they did all those years ago.

Never mind the Normans.....

It did occur to me when we joined the EEC that our new 'partners' were almost all countries with which we had been at war in relatively recent times...
