After all, only a few years later De Gaulle was trying to keep us out of the EEC.

I was only kidding. I just read it first as meaning that the countries were going to be somehow pushed together

They wanted to get every boat in the UK and France and pull them together!

Mabie we should merge with france, atleast you wont have that boat thing when your going for booze cruses!

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Had this happened, we would have won the world cup at least twice. And had lots of cheap booze.

They would still play for France, like the Scottish play for Scotland. We don't enter a team GB into the World Cup.

Would have preferred to merge with France than what we eventually did do, which was merge as an insignificant part of the USA.

In the 60s,Britain and the Usa had serious talks on Britain becoming part of the Usa
