No worries STEED...

unless you brits have the same "Imminent Domain" crap as we do.

"Imminent Domain"? OH that's when the Government takes your Property/Land because they can make more tax revenue by letting rich people build on it or they want to put in a freeway...

Naaah, they can't knock down the Tower of London, the Ravens are still there.


When the Ravens bugger off....then we're screwed.

Well, we already bought London Bridge, so what's the problem? It just becomes another American tourist trap.

Not quite!! Australia has 4 stone block of the birdge you bought. It seems when the brits sold it to an american, they couldn't have it be said they sold off there history. So, when the bridge was rebuilt they found it four stones short!! The Brits had given them to Australia to mark the opening of the parliment house in Canberra.

They can be found under the bridge over Lake Burley Griffin, two on each side. The lake was named after the American who came up with the design for the layout of Canberra (It's a planned city)
