Well then back to the UK/Canada merger. I just want to use sterling that’s all I’m saying. 
America could enter the county cricket competitions - as a minor county.
ok, confession time, heres where im coming from…
as far as im concerned,the planet was here before we were,and its gonna be here when were gone,so why get hung up on nation and country etc,.... ..all i want is an easy ride. it just so happens that i was born in the part they call scotland,and looking around,it seems to me that the pragmatic thing to do to get by with as little fuss as possible,is to make the most of whatever we can. if scotland was to become a part of the us,i think tourism would really take off--no passports/money exchange problems,lots of "roots tracing" ,golf galore, music,history,scenery etc. our defence would be taken care of when we get back all those airbases,navy dockyards and all that kind of stuff. i would like to be able to go work in the states without visas etc,and i have yet to meet an american that i didnt like.we could maybe manage without the guns,although one would be handy in certain parts of glasgow.... as for europe-i like european people just fine,its the idea of their governments running my life that i dont fancy,i think most brits watch american movies,listen to american music,and generally identify with the american outlook, the language helps too. if our government is going to surrender our “independence”,(and it is) id just as soon take my chances with america,after all, plenty scotts got shipped out there a while back,so were practically family. the thing is,would you americans want us?
Does this mean I could start using “brilliant!” in my vocabulary?? I just love when the British do that!
“thats brilliant idnt it?”
“pure dead brilliant” is the glasgow version
So how do we work the Welsh in? I have trouble understanding the accent. Maybe an exchange program with some of our Georga Peaches?

But what about the monarchy? Could the US have a monarchy? Because that would be cool!
FFFT! G’wan! We blow more than that on the overruns on just one defense contract every single year!
And the Royals are a lot more fun than improved submunitions.
SEND 'EM OVER!
Considerably lower taxes, the right to protect yourself from criminals, a constitution that seeks to protect speech rather than limit it… where do I sign?
No. It would be too confusing. Everytime someone in GB referred to football we would think of the Cowboys, Bears, Patriots. (Go Pats). When we referred to football the other side of the pond would think of Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool. The sports page would be too confusing. I am sure the Brits are not ready to start using the word Soccer.
“So how do we work the Welsh in?”
You can work the Welsh up by buying a holiday home, and letting Meibion Glyndŵr burn it down, boyo.

Don’t worry about us, we’re aiming for independance anyway.
To help you with your problem understanding us however, here is a
Dolenni to get around it.

Wow, that’s a serious dolenni. Just makes me glad my parents spoke English well. Too many rules in it to learn from scratch.
Well, Prince Philip is something of an offensive weapon all on his own…
