My Creek and Cherokee relatives would like to dispute your claim of any past or present UK citizens of having "been here first". If you really get 'em fired up they may give you a free haircut too.

You should do that.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Ive got a teleportation device I can sell the OP so he can guarantee instant arrival of parcels.

Caucasian, Mongoloid, Negro, British....

Nevermind. That actually makes perfect sense.

Frightfully upper class as it happens chaps! It's my family that had a word with that good old boy Franny Drake about what these Indian chaps where smoking over there in the new world, and got a serious bum steer when it came to tobacco instead of weed, still anyhoo we sent some pleb soldier called smith (turned out to be a bit of a Jimmy Saville with the native girls unfortunately) along with our man Captain Bart Gosnold from Otley Hall a gent, skipper of the Godspeed don'cha know, off to the new world with a couple of other ships full of labour to start a tobacco farm with the help of the those frightfully nice native chaps we had heard about.
So if you wouldn't mind awfully old chap, I think it would be wise to give us Fairfax's back Virginia as it was ours first, Fair Play! I think you colonial chaps will remember and so far Virginia seems to have been solely represented by Jerry Springer while you American chaps have been looking after it.

PS. Personally I blame that French trouble maker trapper bloke Paul Revere the English where not in fact coming, they where, like the Indians and buffalo, all ready there old boy!

You think it was yours first because you stuck a flag in the ground? You might want to ask the indigenous people about that- they had been here for a few thousand years by the time your people came from Old Blighty and even that was after Columbus and Vespucci were here.

Actually we married into the indigenous people and introduced them to our royalty and asked King James to crown Chief Powhatan an emperor.
As to those Italian gondola johnnies that accidentally took a wrong turning looking for India, they can have the pizza franchise all we want is the baccy.

... If I ran a parcel service. I would demand a standard of quality in my labelling system that I was personally in control of. ...

Why didn't you just hop in the Vauxhall, toodle through the Chunnell and make the delivery yourself? It's not that far, it's not 1066 and you're not likely to run into any elements of the Wehrmacht. That way you would have been 100% in charge of quality control throughout your own process. You could even have had the recipient fill out a customer service survey on you which you would then send to yourself for analysis and corrective action by you against yourself. After you had recieved a good "talking to" from yourself, you may then have carefully evaluated your future at your own company.

That property in Arizona will be beachfront soon enough. Luckily my teleporter is ready so that when the Big One comes I can get out quickly and avoid traffic.


And semi-ontopic... a package was supposed to arrive via FedEx yesterday. Tracking info says it was delivered, but there was no package. Calls/claims have been made and Im awaiting outcome. It doesnt seem likely that my girlfriends birthday present will arrive in time now.
