But that was an accident, and we thought nobody would notice. So don't tell anyone.
The mistake, I feel, was to paint red all our bits on maps of the world - makes it stand out too much. And ruling a quarter of the world from a little office (opening hours 10am-4pm) in a London side-street was a bit unseemly.
Its mostly all been given back now, so that we can tackle the more tricky task of sorting out our currency..!
