Britishness

[plan_D]

They made curry British, why not sushi? Sushi would be in London anyway, that's where all the Japanese tourists go - you've got to cater for them.

People may be speaking French otherways and that would be awful. Don't mind Spanish so much. Wish I could speak it better but not much call for it.

I would say dutch, you know, even New York was Dutch, once, Peter Stuyvesant was a dutchman.

You will be glad to know that there are actually several of "Stuyvesant Streets" in the NY/NJ metro area.

ahwell, they just traded it to the British for Suriname, can you believe that?
Maybe it's for the best or else you would have had to talk dutch instead of English.

As the legend goes - the Dutch got Manhattan from the natives for a bag of beads

Now you know what you're worth
Well, one moment my ancestors were clever the other moment complete fools. Because of them I had to learn English, the bastards ... sigh...

Why did you have to learn English?

William of Orange did invade England and become king.

If you couldn't speak English you couldn't use this forum!

Why did you have to learn English?

In Holland you first have to learn 3 foreign languages, French, German and English as dutch is.. eh not very well spoken abroad. An if I hadn't learned English I couldn't have spoken. eh typed to you this way.

Fish'n chips are OK. Smoked cod roe and mackerel are really SUPERB. These are what I would like to eat in Britain but not sushi at one of the famous place like Paddington station. The problem is that I need to drive more than thirty minutes to get to the nearest sushi-restaurant here in Japan.

I like Britain, the sense of humor is great and those Spitfires are really pretty. But I saw something in my school newspaper today, some shmuck named Nick Griffin of the British Socialist Party or something like that is coming to speak at my university soon. He believes in cutting down non-white immigration to the UK to achieve the predominately white population from around 1950. He argues that the whites were the ones to build up and defend the country and as such are the only ones entitled to live there. I find this an incredibly racist and ignorant point of view. We have wackos over here like that but no one pays attention to them. We have people who oppose the Mexicans immigrating, which is funny to me because my state of Texas was basically founded on illegal immigration to the area in the mid-1800s. Not to mention, my country was founded on immigration and to oppose it is a morally wrong thing to do. Does this guy actually have real support or is he an independent party no-name no one votes for?

I was truly amazed to see people from so many kind of races were there at Trafalgar Square in one afternoon few years back. What I felt then was it's the British Empire to made that happen. Even Tokyo had became one of the biggest cities in the world I never saw things like that in there.

Malt vinegar not ketchup. Soy source for the Sushi.
