    Why on earth would we do that?

    (edit) Would this include Guyana, Belize, Jamaica, or South Africa?

    I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

        Maybe South Africa? I don't think those other ones technically count as Anglosphere nations.

          Unite against what? We already control the world ;)

            Must.

            It will be such fun hearing English spoken in mutually unintelligible accents under one roof!

            A wonderful gaggle it shall be!

              Hah! Can you picture it. A Canadian trying to talk to a Glaswegian with a Kiwi providing the translation.

                  After 3 shots of single malt, what's the difference? The only question is whose going to buy the 1st round?

                    Well judging by previous experience, not the bloody Glaswegian anyway. Perhaps we should extend honorary Anglo-Saxon status to the Indians, they're practically kissing-cousins anyway, and make them buy the first round

                      You know, I would love to drag the Brigadier over to Chez Madoz. I would, of course, need a half a bottle of Lagavulin first.

                          Believe it or not, I used to sing in a restaurant and my Jailhouse Rock rendition was a hit!

                          Colonel, if it is Scotch, it is Blue label and if Single Malt, then it is Glenfiddich. I would only have that if I have to have hard liquor since I have given it up about 2 years ago, the day after the tsunami!

                          Thereafter, you can speak Canadian for all that I will understand. Yet, you will think I do for I shall have the glassy smile that beams on people during the Happy hour!
