    I think Wyre83 was being tongue-in-cheek. Btw, I am English and we never had an 'Empire' - we had a machine for robbing people of their lands, their families and their freedoms. The missionary said "Kneel down, close your eyes and pray" - when the native people opened their eyes they were holding his bible and he was holding their lands.
