Rule, Britannia!

[athanaric]

we Aussies have our own rosey little potted history covering up the sins we've managed to perpetrate in our short time, and playing up our tiny part.

And so has every people or confederation on this planet... time to move on.



BTT, sometimes I'm still baffled at the amount of control and cultural influence such a tiny country as Britain was able to exert. Language, too, is an incredibly powerful tool in cultural influence - it brings along a lot of things, such as certain ways of thinking, etc.
