I really like this. Okay, it says nothing about the evils of empire, world plunder, the subjugation of the Celtic Fringe by the perfidious English or the challenges of twenty-first century multiculturalism, and it’s narrated by a fast-talking Yank. But as a five minute history lesson for the modern, short attention-span generation, it ain’t half bad. The message to my overseas friends is that England isn’t Britain.
Cheers to Angela in Turkey for this one, my ever helpful dolly-drop Bodrum Belle.
Like you said, Jack, not half bad. This Yank talked so fast, I don’t think he stopped for breath thereby making ME light-headed. A lot of information. I felt I could catch more if I had a lasso.
This video was helpful as I had no idea about most of it. 😉
There’s a whole set of them on YouTube. The fast-talking Yank puts himself about 🙂
Will have to find some time…
I learn something new every day. It’s a wonder my brain still functions on overload. 😉
Simple! Don’t know what people get so confused about.
Me neither 😉
Good grief, Penfold! I had no idea we were so complicated .. 🙁
Easy when you know 🙂
I prefer to think of it in terms of “Britain” not being England!
An interesting idea though not something this Anglo-Celt could support 🙂
Watched this before and thought very well said, a little fast, I agree, yes, very simple but there are so many people who have no idea about all this and to an American totally baffling.
It must be irritating to the other occupants of our damp little island to have it all lumped together as England 🙂
Did this guy have a train to catch? Informative – Yes. Enjoyable – No
Now I know!
Hopefully, now we all do 😉
