The Tea Party would probably mean something different.

I do not know if you are aware but there is a country north of the USA, called Canada . Still part of the Commonwealth, though not a 'Dominion'or a colony anymore. Shocked 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

We might all have to watch soccer.    And real football, American football, the kind of football that MEN play, might never have been invented.   
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I could get really good teas quite easily and my accent would kick ass.

We'd all be eating Stilton and roasted marrow instead of Jack and BBQ ribs, not that there's anything wrong with Stilton or marrow.

What if the US had adopted German as the national language, which it almost did, instead of English?

There would be no USA. There would just be more to the British Overseas Territories.

Pah!

All that armour, 97 people on each team, none of whom are on the pitch for more than 30 seconds, played in quarters not halfs & so boring they have to have teams of pretty ladies jumping up & down on the sidelines to keep the crowd amused

American football is just rugby for pansies!

That made me laugh out loud LOL

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.
