Must be a frantic task, this herding little parrots.
Deluxe the British invasion is a sore point here in SA, well was anyway. The only way the Poms could beat us was to burn our farms and emprisson our woman and children. The heaviest defeat the British Royal Marines ever got in its history is from the South African comandos, thats why today the Royal Marines have comandos, Churchill established the comandos after he saw how effective they were.A bit of history
But luckely that`s in the past.
The way we deal with resentment in my family ... well, we just can't figure out which resentment ought to come first. Great Grandma was a Blackfoot squaw. Grandma descended from the Hessians the Brits brought to subdue us. Grandpa descended from the Welsh the Hessians were sent to subdue. The other Grandma, we stole her island from Spain. Her old man, Italy got in there somehows. I'm leaving out the French, Dutch, Scots, and English.
When you are a mix of all the world, you don't know where to start, so you just shrug it all off.
I love Winnie's first hand description of a cavalry charge when he was in the war. Trepidation, tumult, confusion, in quick order.
