Ahem, some of us have family connections to that county, but I'd be happy for Carrot Road and Great Yarmouth to become Spanish Overseas Territories. |  |

Not really sure how I feel about that. Been doing a good bit of work in the North and along the border recently. It's such a different culture to the rest of the island that I'm really not sure whats best. |  | |  |

The British captured it from the Moors in 1704, so it wasn't even Spanish at the time. So we should give it back to Morocco if anyone Edit: My history was wrong. We captured it from the Moors a few centuries earlier. [Post edited 16 Jul 2024 15:04]

Dunkirk was actually the last bit of France owned by Britain. Not in 1940, but 1659-62. Charles II sold it back to them. |  |

I didnt know that!! always thought it was Calais as lost by Queen Mary anyway apparently he sold it for 5,000,0000 Livres of which there were 25 to the British £ That meant he got £200,000 which in todays terms is roughly £35,000,000 So basically Dunkirk is worth Hutchinson and Delap |  |
