Today we celebrate no longer being responsible for the USA.

Awful smug for a place that still has Croydon.

Going to enjoy repeating this at all my US friends all night and pretending I came up with it, cheers.

They keep thinking that they pulled a fast one on us by dumping all that tea in the river, but it was our plan to get the world's largest brew going.

Joke's on them. We have plenty more.

Job well done, boys.

You can have Florida back, mate.

Please take me back. I promise to be good this time.

Have mercy!

I’ll eat my meat, so I can have my pudding.

Happy Divestiture Of The Colonies Day!

Ha ha ha, surely the best way to look at it!

Because what has the U.S. ever done since declaring independence? Truly nothing but a downward slope since the heady colonial days.

This is like Hugh Grant, when the anniversary of the Elizabeth Hurley divorce rolls around, trying to pretend he's drinking cabinets of scotch because he's "celebrate no longer being responsible for that removed, Liz" and totally not because he's a broken, barely-recognizable husk of his former glorious self. And we should know.

But Florida sided with the Crown and remained a colony.

Today we celebrate being the first to Brexit, and actually being successful at it.

@digdilem We took Florida and Texas from the Spanish fair and square and bought Louisiana from the French. You guys kept Canada but had to split it with the French. You can have Florida and Texas so we’ll trade you for Canada. They seem very nice.

I don’t want to be responsible for Florida.

You can never totally divest from the fire you started friends. Even if it burns beyond your control.

Yeah...er.... we can take a collection up to pass it back.... I mean, we'll keep the mouse... the rest is all yours! :)

I changed my mind. Can we come home? ='(

True, but you guys did Brexit.
