South london boy here! I raise my bong to all UK stoners.

You gotta remember one thing- we practically invented the whole fucking world. Look at virtually country- at some point it was part of our empire (yes, that includes you America i'm afraid)- then we had to leave and it all went tits up- i draw your attention to africa, india etc. Admittedly the french (*spits*) had a few countries too but they eat horses so we'll forget about them. We set up the infra/ social structure which went to shit after we left. If we had stayed there wouldn't be half of the problems there are now in the 3rd world.
We may only be a little island, we have done ok for ourselves. Brits are the best people in the world- except for Warlock who is just a prick!
any americans out there will know what i'm talking about- i hear you are invading the middle east at the moment- oops sorry, i forgot- you are paeckeeing aren't you!
