Sir
I would like to challenge your ignorance for equating the ignorance of my fellow countrymen( and women) with your ignorrance.

As all cultured Americans know, Australians have a British accent which is indistinguishable from the English accent even though you may beg to differ.

The other point is we know historically Australia nearly became the 51st ( or is it 52nd state? ) after World War 2 When Gt Britain had no money and was looking around to see what assetts it could sell.

Churchill in a secret meeting at Yalta with Roosevelt bargained to let America buy Australia cheaply. Very few Australians know that ( Dont bother asking you great grandparents,they wont tell ya)

What happen was Roosevelt thought the country was barren land and not worth much. He offered less than was paid for Alaska. Deeply hurt Churchill rejected it and said if he had known he could have got a better price from the Japanese.

Speechless? I bet you are, This information has only just been released under the 60yr old freedowm of Information Act which the British Govt allows to pass before classified information can be released.

Sorry buddy to be the bearer of this news but we Yanks are a lot more knowledgeable that you think.

[...] seemed confused, and went on an anti–Swedish tirade. I don’t blame him, though. He is a floppy-eared Australian, after [...]
