What's one of them?

Can I have one?

If they're free can I have two?

eh?

[gingerjedi]

Who's to say we wouldn't have got better systems albeit a bit later on?

See our railway system for a good example of being at the forefront at the time and now at the back end.

Thought they went to Anglesey for the duration

The Druids were, finally, driven to Angelsey (the nerve centre of Druidism). They thought that Anglesey was holy, and thus protected from all invaders. Not one of 'em survived.

The Romans did, though, get rid of (for a while, at least) the bleedin' stupid Druids.

Without the romans you wouldn't have:

1) Sanitation
2) Medicine
3) Education
4) Wine
5) Irrigation
6) Roads
7) Fresh water system
8) Public health

Where is the money back Troll?

And the Romans had the good grace to feck off back home afterwards.

As for the Fresh Water system, wasn't lead poisoning one of your great contributions?

I think the Iceni are after your lot for war reparations

[xoggoth]

And orgies. The Romans gave us orgies. Unfortunately, the best parts of a civilisation are always lost and we are left with the nonsense, like hygeine and law and order.

[Bagpuss]

Hmmm

[Old Greg]

Or London.

[Francko]

Apart from that, what have the Romans ever given us?

Peace?
