ahhh...the chant of the defeated masses...
we did fight a war and kicked some red wearing people out so we would have that right and freedom you know...(just joking around here folks...i like most people from england..i even buy thier xmas crackers from time to time..and no not the kind you eat..look them up)

in truth of the market forces were there, then it would be too ecchi...but the market in england must just be to small...it is after all only an island...what is it, only about 1/30th the size of the USA...but it does have some rich history to be proud of..

Population wise Britain has about 1/5 of the population of the US, which I suppose means the same population of 10 average size states combined. The bigger US companies sell in UK, Kraft for example, not only sell over here, they have just taken over our biggest chocolate company. Marlborough are in all cigarette shops, Budweiser is one of our best selling lagers (more's the pitty), McDonald's and KFC are in most British towns, and most towns have several Starbuck's. But probably the second worst thing you have sent us is Fox. Our satellite broadcasting all comes through Sky TV, which is a division of Fox, they are also out 5th biggest terrestrial TV broadcaster (and anytime you want to take them back, please do). It is just the smaller companies and those with crap sales teams that cannot make it over here.

I take it you mean WW2, where you turned up late then took all the credit!

What tends to happen is we win the wars for you, but to save your feelings we pretend you won. Remember, the only recent war you did not have us helping you out was Viet Nam, and without us you got a proper ass whipping there!
