 Wherever there's a cottage small
 Beside a field of grain

 There'll always be an England
 While there's a busy street.
 Wherever there's a turning wheel
 A million marching feet. 

 There'll always be an England
 And England shall be free
 If England means as much to you
 As England means to me. #

Unfortunately, your point is proved, rather,

 What does it mean to you?
 Surely you're proud
 Shout it loud
 Britons awake!
 The Empire too
 We can depend on you.
 Freedom remains
 These are the chains
 Nothing can break.   #

Howdy Pteranondon,

Shucks, telling the difference between a line transformer and a line 
capacitor is easy. Just disconnect them and touch your tongue to the one you 
suspect is a capacitor. You will become enlightened.

England, Merry ole England! They get the blame for upgrading the Greek 
language to a modern form useful in politics, Shakespearian dramas, law, science 
and cussing. insurance, banking, world trade, computing and aviation just to 
name a few.

First language spoken on the moon was English. If the world is gonna 
play catchup, they better learn English. 
How did so few accomplish so much ? Answer.. a moral code of ethics.

With the exception of the Shakespearian dramas, all the rest - and much 
more (including the art of exaggeration) - were invented by the Scots.

I presume you mean play ketchup (or catsup) -- a reference to 
English (or British) cooking, no doubt. This would resemble the 
late Steve Allen's classic skit in which he played meat more or 
less the way other people play bongo drums.

Competition provides the motivation,
Cooperation provides the means.
