If you're in the US Barrie, I'd say you're miles from civilisation. Smile

(note the correct spelling of civilisation, chaps)

It frickin snowed on the mountains last night, goddamit!

Listen, England's fallen a bit from the "Sun Never Sets" days, and The USA isn't doing that well either. How about we pool our resources and form Englerica. May as well include Australia. We'll need Canada too, for defensive purposes and the cheap prescription drugs. We'll call Quebec's bluff though and let them go free. If we decide we want the land later, they'll surrender quickly. They're French.

I'm undecided if we should tell New Zealand. Everyone here already thinks it's part of Australia and it would just piss the Kiwis off if they had to explain it all again. Maybe we can make them a territory like Guam. Once Castro kicks the bucket we can send the Marines in to retake Cuba and have them grab the Bahamas too.

We'll go with a modified Parliamentary system. Meryl Streep can be Prime Minister. You can keep the peerage system but the Windsors have to find a job. Maybe Disneyland, they're big on princes and princesses and Charles does look a bit like Mickey Mouse. You've already got Bermuda, so we'll move the government there from Washington DC. It will make it easier to bomb them if they get too proud.

Production values on your TV and movies will improve immensely, and we get to claim Bond as one of ours. All of the good British actors are already in Hollywood anyway. You'll gain a trouble automobile business with out of control unions, it'll be like old times. Starbucks has pretty much taken coffee to the limit, this will allow them to grow the business with tea.

We have dentists here. We'll let you keep the "ou" in your words. Americans can't spell the words they have now, they'll never notice the change. In exchange, you'll have to give up anti-clockwise, lorry, barrister and a few other words. We may keep arse, it has a nice ring to it.

You give us tasty beer, we'll give you tasty food. It's a win-win situation. Looks like Germany is the only country that's got it goin' on in Europe and you know what happens when they get too uppity.

We can send the French Canadians to Australia to get rid of the cane toads & put the Kiwis there as well to give some order to all the descendants of the criminals we sent to the penal colony.

Don, you had me until "we'll give you tasty food".

Are you suggesting McDonald's or Burger King or (heaven forfend) KFC? Someone will have to go to the Chair for those abominations for this to go through. You guys can decide who.

Barrie, I reserve judgement until I know how close you are to Newcastle. Or Birmingham for that matter.

I am very close to & sometimes work in Birmingham.

I think Don meant pizza or possibly steak hung for a month, over here we get idiots bragging that steak has been hung for 10 days.

Which Newcastle by the way, Newcastle On Tyne or Newcastle Under Lyme?

I'm closer to the latter.

No, although many here do like that. Fast food is like beer, as long as you don't take it to excess then it's an enjoyable thing. I've never eaten KFC, so I can't comment on that.

KFC is not bad if you only go there once every two years.

At least we don't have anything resembling Vegemite or Marmite. For fuck's sake.

But Suds, as a man in the food biz you recognise genius when you see it?

technical note, I'm not a vegemite man, I'm a marmite man, but not British marmite, which is different from the stuff they serve in this corner of the Empire (hat-tip Barrie). It's a complicated business. Add marmite to your gravy, your life will never be the same again.

Outstanding when consumed under those parameters.

Any more is a certain heart attack waiting to happen.
