If Britain had won the War

Isn't that that game where you throw a ball in the middle of the field and release packs of wild dogs to chew on each other for possession of the ball?  I'll give you Brits this, you don't do anything by half measures. It's either so slow it could be used as a sedative (soccer) or it's downright brutal and anarchy on the field.  Some pretty ladies on the field jumping up and down might make soccer a tad more interesting.

Oh right - marrow as in the overblown courgette, not marrow as the innards of a bone. 

I imagine the US would be more like Canada or Australia, then, at least in terms of legal and political system.

deep fried marrow?

Gawd, it chills me to the very erm...marrow. Lower case punishment for the stroppy assimilated proles I say. (I blame the ex facto parents)

Yeah but... roasted marrow?

That made me laugh out loud

If we had won? there wouldn't be a world series restricted to just local teams, no politician would be dumb enough to showboat through the empire in an open top limousine, your cheese and chocolate would taste like cheese and chocolate, Dream Theatre would be spelt (NOT spelled) correctly, Michael Jackson would have been dyed black and institutionalized* (and f*cking 'American English' would be considered a war crime against language), Jim Carey and Adam Sandler would have been beaten into renal failure by a baying but discerning mob with an overwhelming mandate for clemency, John Lennon would still be alive and Mark Chapman would be starring as the parasite that lives in your colon in a documentary about consumer resource interactions, Jimi Hendrix would be converted from ex-pat to local hero, another really sh*t national anthem would have been avoided, a billion would mean a million million and a trillion would mean a million million million because some obscure outpost of the commonwealth clearly can't count (or spell), neither your beat cop or petty criminal scum would be armed, fighting in a jungle environment completely alien to our troops like say, Vietnam would have never been countenanced and a bill of rights that deems sacrosanct the right to keep and bear arms (or arm bears, you choose) has been instrumental in the avoidance of mass random and motiveless slayings in high schools, educational establishments and places of higher learning.
