I mean you will never play soccer as well as you play cricket. Why bother with crappy, pretentious french and italian wine when you could have australian? Why go on holiday in crowded, overpriced continental Europe when you could be on a beach in Jamacia, hunting big game in E Africa or playing Polo in India? What recipes can you learn from the french or germans that are half as good as Vindaloo curry?

From a Yank...
Hmmmm.. may not be such a bad idea ... rekindle the Empire. I think the Aussies may sign up, too. Canada may require a little more work.
That little unpleasant episode with George III is behind us now..

Resurrect the Empire how? England's population is around 60 million, Indian has a full billion and rising, sure nobody going to fuss over old african possesions they shouldn't be hard to reclaim and it would probably be to their benefit.
Australia, Jamaica and Canada are still in the commonwealth with governor generals so they're already in practically though they look up to big brother more than old mother now.
Also there is no chance in hell of taking Hong Kong back now, china will go wacko.
Also empire denotes powerful monarchy, Can you see Prince Charles (no offence) as world striding king-Emperor?

Question for the Yanks.
When are you going to stop this foolish experiment in self-rule and come back into the British family of nations?
Come, have a cup of tea and we'll chat. All is forgiven.

I think you need to get out more and experience the real world instead of getting your ideas from the gutter press.
