is USA and UK are the same?

Or naive?

You can’t find decent offal anywhere, frankly.

It’s not universal. I can verify that good Mexican food hasn’t found its way to some towns in Indiana. The struggle continues. Then again I’m from Tucson, birthplace of the chimichanga, so I’m a little biased. :smiley:

“Nice”.

Actually, it was more of an insurrection. Against the British Impire, one might say. :wink:

Colonial secession.

England wasn’t the only one who “ruled” the USA during it’s Colonial period. France, and Spain also owned a good deal of the land now known as the United States of America, and several other countries also were involved.

I would walk a mile to it if we just had one chippy in this state! I don’t think that would work off the meal itself, but I’d do it nonetheless. How lovely to eat one’s tea out of a rolled up newspaper!

Pardon the tanget but Gawd do I wish we had chippies in the States. Or even Canada.

Hey, perhaps the OP was mistaking Canada for the US? Or the UK? It’s a fair mistake. If you squint your eyes and don’t look too close at foreign policy measures… practically indistinguishable.

It gets even more confusing when you add into the mix the fact that “fag” in the U.K. is also slang for a homosexual, brings a whole new meaning to putting a fag in your mouth and taking a long drag.

Actually, the first “revolution” was the Glorious Revolution of 1689, in which one king (James II) was in fact dethroned in favour of another (William of Orange). It was largely nonviolent, but definitely a revolution - and a full century before the French.

The American Revolution, IMHO, was a revolt, an isurrection, a succesion or a war of independance, and not a true “revolution”.

I think you just got whoooooshed…

Hey! Quit joking, we’re supposed to be fighting ignorance here!

Wouldn’t be the first time and i’m damn sure it won’t be the last :frowning:

Next thing you know, someone will be claiming that the pennsylvania dutch aren’t really descended from immigrants from the Netherlands!

Well, Portugal was a colony of Brazil in the period 1814-1822, right? :wink:

Prince: “Father! The peasants are revolting!”

King: “Yes, right disgusting lot they are.”

The force is strong in this one.

The Netherlands and Sweden, for instance. Yes, I said Sweden.

I guess you haven’t been to the Pacific Northwest… :wink:

Except for Montserrat, Anguilla, the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the British Virgin Islands…
