Any Briton worth his or her salt should be a paragon of parochially minded arrogance -- or xenophobic stupidity -- and immune to such overly assumptive propaganda.
C'mon, Stu, we're both using conditionals. I'm hoping that Blood is thicker than Beer, but I'm not counting on it. And we're in the Commonwealth, aren't we?

I had the fortune to study with two Canucks during my M.A.*; I'm now convinced Alexander the Great came from Ontario, for instance. Their papers, particularly on the Canadian involvement in the Great War, were always much fun.
(* my classmates consisted of a lieutenant-colonel, once of the Dukes, and of whatever the bloody hell we're calling our regiments these days; two Canadians; two Greeks, one of whom and proudly spoke of his possessing an AK47; a normal English lad; and Stephen Turnbull, of Samurai fame.)
Stu.
Now this sounds like an interesting situation. I'm busy trying to figure out how you meant the remark about Alexander the Great. Canadians are that combative? (According to all the opposition remarks, true, once we're properly riled. Up 'til then, pussycats.) Do enlighten us, please! I can't stand cryptic, teasing remarks. Alison
