I read that the all-time most-feared general of an enemy of England was George Washington.
So that's right, you'd better not come 'round here, you tea swiller! We kicked your @$$ back in '76, we can do it again!
Happy 4th, whatever it portends for you!

I don't know, Tom. You are probably safer here as a Brit in the wide open that you would be back in the UK. The Machiavellian back-stabbing and political chaos in the wake of the Brexit vote make any colonial sniping look absolutely tame.

TomK...at least here you can go out totally adorned in the Union Jack & everyone will think you are celebrating with the state flag!

Or staying home dealing with frightened pets, last year was the worst one ever in HPP, we are hoping Kapoho will be better.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. On Monday I'll fly the Union Jack at half-mast over my house and out of respect will not drink any tea that day.
Have a very happy 4th July holiday weekend end, and make sure you have a jolly good time at our expense! [

Don't take it so hard Tom, you had a pretty good run! And that British Invasion of 1964 was an unqualified success, so I'd say we're even. (of course, sending over the Beatles & Stones was probably more of a win-win situation)
