That actually a great little video and shows just how far the UK's global reach and recognition is still there.... sort of. There's a few things missing or wrong but they can be overlooked.
Love the part about England being in the middle of the Atlantic and not near France. That i sooooooo true.
On another note, i really wish we had great travel deals with the BOT's. I really want to go to Turk & Caicos Island but it's so damned expensive lol.Last edited by juneau; 3 Feb 2011, 11:07 PM.

Its something we'll probably forget given 6 months ... test us again in the summer and I'll bet we still don't get the answer right.Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry ChapinComment

We're not taught a lot about pretty much anything.
I guarantee the average European knows more about American history than the average American.
