It could backfire. The UK becomes our 52nd State!
Since English has been designated the official language in the U.S., you won't have to learn a new one.  ;D
You'd have to get accustomed to police carrying guns, though.  :-*

The idea has merit.  Remember the book and movie The Mouse That Roared, about a small European nation, envious of the huge amount of American aid given to Germany after WWII, invaded the USA armed with bows and arrows in the hope of benefitting as a defeated country.

Of course, they found themselves in an embarrassing position when they won.

If we want to lose, we'd better invade quickly.  If we let Americans suffer under President Trump for much longer, they'll be welcoming us with Union Jacks and we'll have to give them aid.

Belay all of that.  Our troops couldn't even find the USA, as we found when our jollies thought that they were invading Gibraltar on manoeuvres:

2002 When Britain Invaded Spain

"The marines beat a hasty retreat and went off to find the real Gibraltar. This, locals observed, was easily recognisable because it had a 1,398ft high rock sticking out of it."

The Gulf of America will undoubtably confuse our finest and we'll invade Mexico.  I might join up.  I've heard that Cancun is nice.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding.

It is never the ice cream's fault. Ice cream is medicine. It just took longer to take effect.  ;D

Scales said ouch get of you fat expletive this morning, still off to the workshop today and its supposed to be mid to high teens C . Garnish mouldings to put a wipe of filler on and then paint as its warm.
  Breakfast meet tomorrow at the café, proper full English (bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, eggs, tomato and toast) and there might be some mushrooms as well. We get hot rod club discount so with a cuppa its £10.50. Tuesday night we all meet again at a pub and they do a burger night deal ,1/2 price drink for a pint with the meal. Lots of chat and bench racing will happen at both.

That was unkind of me.  Please carry on protecting me, you brave men and women.

I don't think that Britain should fight America, though.  We've always felt affection for the the Americans who fought on our side, especially the generals, Dwight Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, George Patton, Benedict Arnold etc..

Well the sunshine and 17C temps made for a good turnout of hot rods and rides this morning, good chat was had as well. My breakfast order got misplaced and when I eventually got it it was white not brown toast, still got a free refill of coffee!!

Davina,


I hope your Sunday is spectacularly. . .   Normal! 

Without any pains, hurts, traffic slowdowns, wrong size parts, and other irritants.


Have a nice day.

Had to spend another day resting my back as it spasmed again in the morning, warm weather disappearing and I wanted to paint some trim. My shafts have been shortened and can collect them tonight at the hot rod club meet at the pub so that saved me a trip.

I like the concept of hardtop convertibles (vs. the soft top convertibles).  Ferrari made one, probably still does.

I had a 1993 Mercury Capri with a hardtop. It was a beautiful teal color. That thing was fun to drive.

Hot rods can be very cool.

Sometimes I see flames painted onto a side of the car.

Davina,

Have you seen, repaired, or drove, or rode in a British "wooden" sports car?
There is a galvanized chassis and metal covered wood in its construction.
It think that Morgan is a brand of these cars.

Yes including some very old 3 wheelers, I drive past the Morgan factory when I go shopping .
 Good burger and fries last night, cowboy burger they called it. 2 burgers with crispy bacon and a proper bun with a pile of nice fries . Must have been over 20 of us in our group of 2 clubs, its been 50 years since our club was started and I have been going 47 years. Not a club as such now but a group of hot rod/ customizers.
  Back still tight and its worked up to my shoulder blades now so I know its getting better, its like a bruise working its way out. Staying at home to rest and we have SNOW this morning, only a few days ago it was T shirt weather-----------
