I often like to remind my American acquaintances that Britain did not lose the War. It was a war we could not lose since it was really just Brits fighting Brits. Some of those Brits were shipped across from Britain to quell the uprising of the colonial upstarts who themselves were just Brits who lived overseas. So, in effect, it was really more of a civil war. I will of course conveniently ignore the involvement of other foreign nationals who called America home at the time.
Regardless of the aforementioned error in the annals of time the America based Brits had one thing right as far as I'm concerned. If I had my way all tea would be thrown into the sea since it tastes like dirty dishwater. The fish in Boston Harbour probably felt the same. I realise I may be in the minority on that point though!
