Though our stars tend to rise and fall in opposition
through the years, your reputation for adventure, fearlessness and a
legendary hunger for more lingers, and for the most part we find that admirable—no, more than that—we find it astonishing.
We may denigrate your American whisky (as well as your
tendency to spell it with the Irish ‘e’) as you joke about our pasty
faces and reliance upon dentures but we are cousins—if not always
kissing—and share a rich common language, culture, customs and cuisine.
We are more alike than different in nearly every respect but these: One, we are a constitutional monarchy and Two, despite what you may have heard we really, really envy you your guns.
