"I'll give you each one wish for freeing me" says the genie.

The Englishman thinks then wishes. "I believe in an England for the English, I'm sick and tired of all these Scots coming into MY country. I wish for a huge wall around England - to keep the English in and the Scots out."

POOF and it's done.

The Scotsman thinks. "Genie?" he says "tell me about this wall". "Well" says the genie "it's 500 feet high, a third of a mile thick, nothing can get in and nothing can get out".

"OK" says the Scotsman "Fill it with water".

lol,.... but now it comes the second part,... because now the english would say smthg like: and the genie filled the scottish side! (sooorry, I didn't wanted to say it but it was the joke!!! :mrgreen: )

omg,.... that was me defending the red coats? I must be spending too much time with my english friends here! I need to wear my kilt before it is too late!

¡Salud!

Well the US and Canada and many other countries do very well not being part of Europe, ist now a crime to sell things in pounds and ounces becasue of european law and britain pays 7 billion pounds a year to europe for nothing in return, anyway its getting political so Im saying nothing else about it.

Daz, thanks for recognizing that the thread is threatening to take a political turn. Let's steer the discussions back to the safer ground of history/heritage.
