The Queen urged Americans to write in her name on Election Day, after which the transition to British rule could begin “with a minimum of bother.”

Not sure really...I mean on one hand it would be nice to expand the empire...but on the other hand, that debt, that whole gun thing, the coming fracture between left and right political wings which seems set to tear the nation asunder...

Probably more trouble than it's worth...might be best to stick with Canada. It's colder but safer. :yep:

Just what we need to unite the country and finish driving the Lobsterbacks off of our continent.

No no no...If the American's get hooked on tea the price of tea will rocket! No I will not stand for that, I like a nice cup of tea and will not pay though the roof for a cuppa.

Simple truth is I doubt either country could afford to keep one another.

quote Jim Buna:
Simple truth is I doubt either country could afford to keep one another.I heard that for the price of the new F-35 fighters, the US could have bought Australia. The continent. (No joke)
(2,443 jets, appx. 317590 Millions, or ~317.59 billions. This is alot, if you think about financing energy, research, veterans, studies and homeless. Or healthcare.

P.S: and you can keep your sugar-water-Lipton-ice-"tea", thank you.
I'd prefer real indian tea anytime, it does not need the detour over England :O:

I believe you tried that on at least two occasions via Canada but matters didn't go to plan all that much :):03:

No they certainly didn't! We wasted good troops and critical assets in ill conceived expansionist invasions that were contrary to the self defensive reasons we held for fighting those wars.

Well you can try to grow your own tea and vine, maybe on the south slopes of the Highlands – if Scotland lets you after a Brexit Mk.II :D
