Funny how the Yanks bang on about winning the War of Independence. I had been under the illusion that those "cheese eating surrender monkey" French had won it for them, not only by supplying large numbers of troops and supplies, but also tying up the bulk of the British army in the Napoleonic campaigns. Then again, some may argue that had they "won" that war, they'd still be British and civilised!

Seriously, guys, different countries with more similarities than differences and a long history of co-operation. We don't need to love everything about each other to have mutual friendship - there are good and bad values and people in both. Hopefully more of the good.
