El Whacko, you lot weren't so feisty when we Brits burnt the White House down were you, your President ran away like a whipped cur.

Quote:

On August 24, 1814, as the War of 1812 raged on, invading British troops marched into Washington and set fire to the U.S. Capitol, the President's Mansion, and other local landmarks. The ensuing fire reduced all but one of the capital city's major public buildings to smoking rubble, and only a torrential rainstorm saved the Capitol from complete destruction.

Next time we'll come in the dry season.
