I agree with you Chard, I did think about putting a few little things up, but what to choose? I've got better things to do with the next two or three hundred years.
In fairness though, there is rather less evidence of greatness in recent years, rather the opposite if anything. The Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights (our one, not the other one, although no prizes for guessing where they got the idea) must rank among the greatest achievements of mankind. However, they must be running short of bogroll up in Westminster, as they seem to have spent the last few years wiping their ****s with these documents.
By the way, I think our Bill of Rights guarantees the right to bear arms. I'll have a ferret about and see if this is correct.
