Well, I guess you guys are just about finishing breakfast, and I haven't seen any other threads on here about it, so just want to wish you all Happy 4 July from wet and rainy England

Since you just made a similar post on BC. I shall thank you and refrain from any insults.

Insults? You're always the perfect gentleman, Pensi

Happy 4th, though i was surprised to see that a person from England
(whom we kicked your ass in the war to earn this day...lol just messing)
was the first to post such a message

HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE

LOL! I wasn't the first - I missed the "Happy Independence Day" thread.

Anyway, most of the Founding Fathers were from British stock

Seriously though, I don't think too many Brits are sore about the War of Independence. By overthrowing an autocratic and insane monarchy in America, and implementing liberal democratic values and establishing a constitution, that had a ripple effect that meant that the British monarchy itself had to change dramatically. I doubt the UK would have the level of democracy it does today if Bunker Hill had gone the other way.
