Btw, the british disaster of their commons are really funny, from the times the widows lost their rights to have two goats and 20 chicken feeding on the commons, local village property, then royal and future aristocratic land, Althorp and Lady Di)

US, obviously did have lots of pre-emptive common lands (as well as alien labour, when that market became viable)

Ouch, we had to do some 500 years of wars to preserve our property and chicken rights..
However, we just made it, numero uno in the PISA educational rights.

I trully true believe even London City will adopt the yuro rules, despite those widows and goats. Especially if they manage to tweak their constitutional (non-existent) and financing rules to suit them slightly better.

If not, this post-colonial millenium will be lost..

Thorp is a Middle English word for a hamlet or small village. There are many place names in England with the suffix "-thorp" or "-thorpe".

In old Norse, "the family values" as well as " small farmer who does not own his land, but has built his own house on the land of the one who owns the land"
