How come no-one has mentioned Hitler?

He came very close to invading and if he hadn't cocked up with invading Russia and if he had held the Japanese back from attacking America, he may well have done it.

Possibly because Hitler wanted to join Britain in ruling the world.

And IMO Hitler made a bigger mistake in switching from bombing airfields to bombing the East End.

the only people who wanted to break us up into bits, and take the juicy bits were the Vikings, as far as I can tell

and they did a blooming good job too.

Not as good a job as Brown and Bliar though

[EternalOptimist]

well most people wanted to subsume britain, not destroy it.
The jocks wanted us off their backs, so did the yanks and the irish.
The french wanted to peg us back
the nazis wanted us as their mates

Jade Goody.

And all the gormless fookwits of her ilk.

Didn't they give us those comic characters?

Asterix and Obelix?

[pmeswani]

Yeah, but apart from that, what did the Romans ever do for us?

Romanes eunt domus

People called Romanes, they go, the house?

[OwlHoot]

George Washington wasn't Britain's greatest foe

Basically Edward Heath never forgave the Yanks for making monkeys of the British government during the Suez Crisis. Much of his Europhilia was rooted in his seething resentment of Americans IMHO.

Vehicular transport

Law and Order?
