British People.........

[tristen]

Do British people really drink tea as much as in the movies? and do they learn the same stuff as in America? cause i was tought that like when we broke away England was evil and controlling what is it that you learned?

[stuey]

OK, FF. By the way, tristen, I can't look at it sideways as I don't have one of them there 3D screens yet.

[tristen]

You may well have a more scientific one to hand, though.

[Tilly2]

Perhaps you should stop trying to do two things at once, tristen.

[woofgang]

errrm, shouldn't we say Native Americans now?

[tristen]

that's probably a good idea but i can't its more fun this way

[Tilly2]

.....or even indigenous people, or First nation. I stand corrected, woof. I was just being flippant.

I've only just learned that the Pilgrim Fathers didn't sail straight from England to America, their first choice was the Low Countries, they went there first - and the Mayflower was a replacement ship when the other one sprang a leak.

"Let's go play cowboys and indigenous people" somehow doesn't sound quite as much fun.

"Let's go play cowboys and indigenous people"

lol that doesn't sound fun at all

[boxtops]

To be strictly PC you probably shouldn't say cowboys any more, it's cattle-persons :-)

[Old_Geezer]

If being described as "Indians" is an insult, well that's a whole sub-continent of them we're insulting 'all the time'.

[Tilly2]

Nah, it must be Dudes.

[tristen]

it happens humans aren't exactly nice

[pastafreak]

Native Americans only became known as Indians because Columbus got sidetracked/lost on his way to India. I think calling them all native Americans is a bit like calling all residents of the British isles English...

[boxtops]

Perhaps it's alleged that we're all drinking this http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink3385.html

Oh, Oh...Pasta's here. You Englanders are now in deep trouble: you're surrounded; there are two of them now:)

[maggiebee]

Are you talking historically eg The Boston Tea Party?

[pastafreak]

Lol...power in numbers,stewey ;-)

[modeller]

Yes we do but especially at home as we all like it the way we personally
make it. It's never quite right elsewhere. Coffee is not so easy to ruin, so I chose coffee, unless I can control the quality, then its tea. However I rarely exceed 20 cups a day !
