Hey Muzza, to totally rob your post, I was reading some history the other day and it seems that during WW2 whilst all of your able bodied men were off fighting, the Imperial Fleet was steaming toward a landing on your homeland. The Home Defense folks armed old men, women, and children with antique guns, axes, even clubs and prepared to cede your island a bloody inch at a time.
I didn't know that until the other day. I'm sure you're awfully proud of your forebears.
