I cannot tell a lie. I have roots to all corners of the British Isles and none to elsewhere. I have a link to the battle in 1066, a great great grandfather who was transported in chains, another who was one of Napoleon's gaolers, family who fought against Cromwell (from Wales) and a gold miner GGGF from Scotland. One, from London, was even called Bull! (Sam not John ) Damn it, I also was even at school with your future king! Mate, I'm just about as much of a Pom as you .. Just a few generations removed. But please, don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to uphold!:chuckles: And remind we poor Britishers just who the Aussies are again, K-man? You wouldn't happen to be British with more sunshine by any chance? :lol:. And, at root at least, Americans wouldn't happen to be British with more natural resources?
So fear not; you are just as good as we are because you are who we are {just with the cultural advantages removed} :lol:.
