"The land in which the US embassy is built on in the UK isnt owned by the yanks, instead its owned by the Duke of Westminster. The US government approached the Duke about the prospect of selling the land to which he agreed. However the Duke's price was the state of Virginia which was confiscated from his family during the war of independence. Needless to say the yanks didnt agree " | |||

"I also once knew somebody that claimed to be descended from from blackbeard and thus had a claim to the state of Carolina. Whether it was true or not I have no idea. " A 77 acre plot of land (now Manhattan, NY) was granted to a pirate called Robert Edwards in the 18th century by Queen Anne of Britain. After he died, the original document went missing and the land wasn't claimed until many decades later on behalf of the church. If anybody could find this document, and prove they were related to the original Edwards, they would potentially have a claim to around 65 billion dollars worth of New York land.

I don't think we should criticise Trump if we did the same to the Spanish... | |||

Trump trying to get Mexico to pay for the wall is just political point scoring, making it look to American citizens that he has the balls and the clout to make them pay for it. And as we know he certainly didnt have the clout to see it through. As with conquering Canada from the French, the land that was taken was split between Canada and the 13 colonies, which is why we tried to make them pay for. | |||

It's often the term used outside the UK, and, as noted, I'm politically correct.
You'll also note I live north of Watford myself. "I did note where you lived. Manchester. And I didn’t say you were “politically correct”. I said “politically, you’re correct”. As a Scot, I don’t have a queen, only a first minister (politically). | |||
