Remaining part of the Empire would have been pure ambrosia.....We poor Americans would know how to address our betters properly, for example I don't have the foggiest notion of what to call you. Should it be "my lord Winn...."Sir Winn" or just plain "hey Duke". To know ones place in society is very important...plus we would have soccer hooligans to look down upon no matter what our station in life. We would have had 9 dollar a gallon gas way before its time. Food dishes that would normally be associated with those that are fitted with a bone through the nose to enjoy. Our legal system would be held in much higher regard....who in their right mind could poke fun at barristers in powdered wigs? And let's face it, our ignorance is so apparent that probably not 1 in a 100 of our citizens could give proper change for a sixpence. Pitiful state of affairs for sure.

Are you using foresight or hindsight or just plain wishful thinking for all those "maybe's"?

But of course a lot of other different things would have happened instead. Everything would be much easier if we knew how things were going to turn out. Kind of reminds me of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", a book I greatly enjoyed. Nice sunsets, by the way. ARS Edit: Or maybe that sci-fi epic. Don't recall the name right off. Harry Seldon is all I come up with, and I might be confused in that.

Judging from your post, Hitler's appeaser Neville Chamberlain, must have been an American?...not an Englishman? If America had not won it's independence on July 4, 1776 what nation would have rescued England as Hitler's blitzkrieg was pounding it into submission? Blame insane King George for your enormous loss...that's what happens when a nation is lead by accidents of birth instead of democratically elected leaders. youtube.com >with Americans on the wrong side of history..slow to oppose Germany<
